Filter by:Hemophilia is a rare X-linked bleeding disorder responsible for deficiency of coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) or IX (FIX). The main clinical manifestation is increased bleeding throughout the life which is directly correlated to the severity of the hemophilia, either mild (FVIII/FIX: 6-40), moderate (FVIII/FIX: 1-5%), or severe (FVIII/FIX<1%). Thanks to new therapies and long-term specialized follow-up by hemophilia treatment centers (HTCs), the life expectancy of patients with hemophilia (PWH) has improved considerably, even reaching that of the general population (1). Healthcare professionals are so more confronted to PWH with age-related pathologies, in particular cardiovascular pathologies such as atrial fibrillation, acute coronary syndromes or thromboembolic events (arterial or venous). It is now recommended in PWH that an anticoagulant treatment (AC) be prescribed as in the general population (2,3,4). The recently published COCHE study demonstrated a significantly increased risk of bleeding in PWH receiving antithrombotic treatment. This bleeding risk depended significantly on the type of antithrombotic treatment, which was higher for anticoagulant vs antiplatelet drugs, on basal levels of FVIII or FIX, and on the HAS-BLED score (5). Nowadays in the general population, among anticoagulant drugs, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are preferred to vitamin K antagonist (KVA), thanks to their reduced risk of bleeding particularly intracerebral bleeding and better anticoagulant stability over time (6). However, we do not yet know precisely whether DOACs could occupy the same place in the PWH population because of the lack of evidence-based data due to the very small number of these patients, although some authors already recommend them over KVA. The KADOAH study was therefore set up to try to provide initial elements for future recommendations. Its main objective was to compare the level of bleeding risk of PWH treated with VKA vs DOACs.
This study is a pragmatic cluster randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of a clinician-facing implementation strategy on the use of medication optimization (defined as either discontinuation of all antiplatelet therapy or initiation of and adherence to a proton pump inhibitor (PPI)) to reduce upper GI bleeding risk in patients prescribed anticoagulant-antiplatelet therapy (AAT) relative to usual care.
Venous thromboembolism affects around 10 million people per year worldwide, however, despite its high incidence, there is no systematic review or randomized trial focused on the treatment of patients with recurrent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and/or or pulmonary embolism (PE) during anticoagulant treatment. The objective was to compare the use of Rivaroxaban plus Aspirin versus Acenocoumarol in patients with recurrent venous thromboembolism treated with rivaroxaban.
The investigators aimed to verify the efficacy and safety of nadroparin calcium warfarin sequential (NWS) anticoagulation therapy after endoscopic therapy in PVT patients with cirrhosis and AVB.
Aims: To investigate the incidence of bleeding complications during oral surgical procedures in patients medicated with DOACs. To investigate the perioperative and postoperative bleeding volume during oral surgical procedures in patients medicated with DOACs. To examine whether increased perioperative bleeding volume complicates the planned intervention, thereby prolonging the operation time. Previous studies have shown that the incidence of healthcare-consuming bleeding complications following oral surgical procedures in patients who are prescribed warfarin is approximately 4% (9). To investigate whether the incidence is higher or lower by the intake of DOAC it is considered to be sufficient with 100 patients in each group. The groups consist of patients who are prescribed warfarin, DOACs, as well as a control group. Hypothetical outcomes: The incidence of bleeding complications and the perioperative and postoperative bleeding volume during oral surgical procedures in patients medicated with DOACs are higher compared to patients medicated with warfarin and patients taking no anticoagulants. Increased perioperative bleeding volume complicates the planned intervention, thereby prolonging the operation time. Clinical relevance: The study will serve as a basis for the development of treatment guidelines for patients who medicate with DOACs. If it turns out that the oral surgery procedure presents no increased risk of complications and that the bleeding volume does not complicate the surgery significantly, it may be recommended that patients who medicate with DOACs whom are in need of oral surgical procedures seek ordinary dental care.

The purpose of this clinical study is to compare how well two different devices for achieving hemostasis perform in patients undergoing transradial procedures. Both devices are approved by the FDA for this use, and have already been used by clinicians on patients undergoing transradial procedures. It is believed that the use of both devices in combination compared to the hemostasis band (TR band) alone will shorten the time that it takes to 'seal' the artery, resulting in a shorter period of time that you would need to wear the hemostasis band.
This prospective observational study will examine the incidence of intracranial hemorrhage. The investigators will compare patients on anticoagulant and/or antiplatelet therapy with head trauma compared to patients not on these medications. While many studies have sought to quantify the incidence of intracranial hemorrhage in these patients, there is considerable controversy regarding their care and what to do after an initial negative head CT in anticoagulated geriatric patients who have experienced head trauma.
Background: Over the past decade, the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for respiratory support in adults has increased. Several trials have highlighted how red blood cells transfusion can cause several negative effects and, currently, a restrictive transfusion trigger in critically ill patients is widely accepted. The optimal management of anticoagulation targets and transfusion practice in veno-venous-ECMO (VV-ECMO) patients is still under debate. Traditionally, the threshold for transfusions of packed red blood cells (PRBC) in ECMO is aimed at keeping hemoglobin (Hb) values in the normal range (12-14 g/dL), but some case series have shown how the Hb target can be lower, and with comparable clinical outcomes. While there are extensive reviews on predicted ECMO survival, and management (even with many debated issues), there is a significant knowledge gap in understanding the benefits and risks of transfusions during VV-ECMO Methods/Design: Prospective observational multicenter study. The principal aim is to describe current effective blood product usage, during VV-ECMO. The secondary aim is to describe in a large cohort of ECMO patients the current anticoagulation strategy and bleeding episodes occurrence. The study will be conducted at a multicenter level including in each center all consecutive adult vv-ECMO patients during one year up. The data collection will include pre-ECMO characteristics, transfusion strategies and blood test results during the first twenty-eight days after ECMO cannulation or until the end of ECMO support if the length is shorter, and clinical outcomes up to the end of ICU stay. The descriptive variable end points for the primary aim will be the daily and the total amount of PRBC and other blood products (Plasma, Platelets, Fibrinogen, Antithrombin III). The descriptive variable end points for the secondary aim will be the type and dose of anticoagulation, and episodes of bleeding according to site and severity. Expected Results: A collaborative combination of ECMO centers will evaluate prospective data of transfusion practices during ECMO. The investigators would be able to describe the currently strategy for administration of blood products, anticoagulation and the effective incidence of bleeding episodes worldwide.
The MAS Study is an observational, multicentre, prospective cohort study in Non valvular Atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients treated with one of the direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) available in Italy for NVAF patients. The general aim is to deepen the knowledge of DOAC treatment in NVAF patients, by measuring the plasma concentration of anticoagulant drugs and their correlation with any adverse events that may occur during treatment.
