Filter by:The researchers are trying to reduce the need for blood transfusions in subjects having surgery that will involve the use of cardiopulmonary bypass. A unit of whole blood will be removed as part of their standard of care prior to going on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). This unit is given back to the subject post CPB. This has been shown to reduce the need for blood transfusion in patients.
This study aims to assess the 6- and 12-month venous thromboembolism (VTE) and bleeding incidence from the start of cancer diagnosis in a retrospective cohort of patients with esophageal cancer. Additionally, the predictive value of the Khorana score and several other VTE and bleeding prediction scores and risk factors will be evaluated.
A prospective open-label case-control study will be performed aiming to assess the utility of thromboelastometry (ROTEM) for identification of hemostatic changes, goal-directed coagulation management, and prognosis of intracranial hemorrhagic injury progression as well as clinical outcome in patients with isolated traumatic brain injury. Patients undergoing craniotomy to treat traumatic brain injury will be enrolled. All patients will undergo standard perioperative coagulation analysis (APTT, PT, INR, fibrinogen levels, platelet count), whereas ROTEM-guided group will additionally be tested with ROTEM. "Cases" will be managed according to a ROTEM-based algorithm, and "Controls" will be treated as usual (based on clinical judging). Comparative analysis of acquired demographic, clinical and laboratory data will be performed. The investigators believe that ROTEM results could provide better insight into perioperative coagulation changes, be beneficial to patient blood management, and result in better outcome.
As bleeding is a major risk in bariatric surgeries, we aimed our study to find any predictors to such bleeding within the surgery or 30 days after surgery. The study is a retrospective study collecting patients data, surgeons data, and hospitals data in order to find if any of the factors influencing patients, surgeons or hospitals, has to do with bleeding in these surgeries and if it does impact bleeding in what way. The goal is finding a predictor that it's neutralizing may prevent bleeding in bariatric surgeries.
The EASYX™ Liquid Embolic is a new injectable, precipitating polymeric agent for the obliteration of vascular spaces through direct puncture or catheter access performed under X-ray guidance. The embolic liquid is an iodinized Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) Polymer ether. Iodine groups are covalently grafted to the PVA polymer backbone, whereby a stable nondegradable polymer with the desired features is created. The resulting polymer is dissolved in Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO). EASYX™ is CE-marked since December 2016 and has been used in humans a few time for type II endoleaks, portal vein and varicocele (<10 cases at the date of submission). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of EASYX™ embolization liquid for the percutaneous treatment of vascular lesions, i.e. embolization of varicocele, type II endoleaks, portal vein before surgery, active peripheral bleeding or angiomyolipoma (AML).
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is more common in patients with renal disease compared to the general population an risk increase to as much as 10 times in patients on hemodialysis (HD). Stroke is an important cause of morbidity, mortality and suffering for patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease (ESCKD) on hemodialysis.The risk of bleeding in these patients can be roughly 5-fold higher that without it. Current guidelines recommend the use of oral anticoagulants (AO) to prevent stroke or systemic thromboembolism in high-risk patients with AF. Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) reduces the risk of bleeding while allows thromboembolic stroke prevention. The aim of the study is to assess the procedural safety on stroke and bleeding prevention of LAAC in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and ESCKD on HD.
The aim is to conduct a double-blinded single-centre randomized controlled clinical trial of application of topical dose of tranexamic acid (TA) versus the usual intravenous TA in patients undergoing cardiac surgery at the Hamilton General Hospital. This pilot study will assess the feasibility to perform a large randomized international trial exploring this objective.
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), produced mainly in enteroendocrine cells, participates in energy homeostasis and glucose metabolism by regulating islet hormone secretion, gastrointestinal motility, and food intake, making GLP-1 agonist a treatment for diabetes and obesity. Pre-clinical and clinical studies have demonstrated that GLP-1 also has cardio-protection effects. GLP-1 agonists is able to improve markers of cardiac function, reduce myocardial infarct size and post-myocardial infarction remodeling in experimental myocardial infarction. And GLP-1 infusion improved left ventricular function and increases myocardial salvage in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The investigators' previous study found that GLP-1 analogues attenuated ischemia-reperfusion induced apoptosis of stem- and myocardial microvascular endothelial cells, and liraglutide (a GLP-1 analog) usage during hospital stay can prevent no-reflow and improve heart function in AMI. Therefore, the investigators carried out a cohort study to evaluate the association between plasma GLP-1 and in-hospital complications in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
"This is a single-center, randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled trial designed to: 1) demonstrate the degree to which administered andexanet doses can reverse Factor Ten A (FXa)-inhibitor induced anticoagulation; and 2) evaluate the safety and PK/PD of andexanet in healthy Japanese subjects taking direct FXa inhibitors at therapeutic doses."
Study design: A national, multi-center, patient-blinded, randomized clinical trial. Study population: Patients undergoing EMR with a moderate to severe risk (right sided colon, ≥2cm) of developing Delayed Bleeding (DB). Intervention: PC will be compared to standard care (no PC). Main study endpoints: Primary endpoint is the incidence of DB. Secondary endpoints are cost-effectiveness, quality of life and (severe) adverse events related to PC, adenoma recurrence and risk factors for DB.
