Filter by:'The PACT trial' is randomized pilot trial to demonstrate the feasibility and potential effectiveness of a personal "fitness tracker" to improve adherence to an activity regimen following an initial acute DVT in children.
The research team's aim is to investigate the effects of the team's soft robotic socks in providing assisted ankle dorsiflexion-plantarflexion and promoting venous blood flow in stroke patients. Specifically, the investigators intend to 1) observe the development of joint contracture in terms of the range of motion of the ankle joint given the use of the device 2) monitor the presence of blood clots in the deep veins using compression Duplex ultrasonography given the use of the sock device. The investigators hypothesize that a soft robotics approach can provide compliant actuation to simulate natural ankle dorsiflexion and plantarflexion, which will consequently promote blood circulation in the lower leg of stroke patients who have not previously developed ankle joint contracture. This will prevent the occurrence of DVT and movement in the ankle joint will alleviate stiffness. This robotic sock intervention is to prevent the development of ankle joint contracture so established ankle contractures will be excluded from this study.
To evaluate the benefits of Ayurvedic SUVED & REIMMUGEN Colostrum for reduction/reversal of symptoms and study clinical progress in Vascular disease; CAD, CAV, Stroke, DVT patients.
In clinical practice, compression ultrasound (CUS) has become an easy and reliable noninvasive tool for the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Currently there are not validated methods to assess the biological age of venous thrombus, and the date of onset of thrombosis. One potential technique to age DVT is ultrasound elastography (UE). UE is a noninvasive technique to measure tissue hardness, and it is well known that thrombi harden as they age. The aim of this study will be to assess the ability of UE to distinguish acute from chronic DVT. The investigators will evaluate prospectively all consecutive outpatients presenting with clinically suspected unprovoked DVT of the lower limbs, and those having a previous diagnosis of DVT for the scheduled 3 months visit of follow-up, for a period of about one year. All the enrolled patients will undergo to the CUS of the lower limbs, and at the same time to the ultrasound elastography by the physician expert in vascular ultrasound. The specialist performing both examinations will be unaware of the time of onset of DVT (acute or chronic). Then the patients will be divided into two groups (group A: patients with acute DVT; group B: patients with chronic DVT at the 3rd month of follow-up). Each examination (CUS and ultrasound elastography) will be repeated three times in the same patient at the same visit, to assess the reproducibility of the technique. The demographic data, medical history, physical examination and the results of CUS and ultrasound elastography will be collected in a case report form (CRF) by another investigator who does not perform the examinations. The blinded CRF will be submitted to a dedicated committee for statistical analysis.
Hospitalization in pregnancy and childbirth greatly increases the thromboembolic risk of these patients. The application of a protocol for assessing the risk of VTE reduces mortality and morbidity of these phenomena.
This randomized phase III trial studies the side effects of and compares apixaban and dalteparin in reducing blood clots in patients with cancer-related venous thromboembolism. Venous thromboembolism is a condition in which a blood clot forms in a vein and then breaks off and moves through the bloodstream. Patients with cancer are at increased risk for venous thromboembolism. Apixaban and dalteparin are drugs used to prevent blood clots from forming or to treat blood clots that have formed. It is not yet known whether apixaban or dalteparin is more effective in reducing blood clots in patients with cancer related venous thromboembolism. ADAM-VTE
Open randomized therapeutic study to assess the efficacy of Xarelto 15mg/day in the recurrence of thromboembolic event compared to an untreated group in patients with chronic portal vein thrombosis without high risk thrombophilia.
Standardize the approach to outpatient Pulmonary Embolism (PE) and Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) treatment.
PRESERVE is a multi-center, prospective, open-label, non-randomized investigation of commercially available IVC filters from 6 manufacturers placed in subjects for the prevention of pulmonary embolism (PE). This study will enroll up to 1,800 IVC filter subjects (with a maximum of 300 subjects per IVC filter brand) at up to 60 sites in the US. The primary objective of this investigational device exemption (IDE) clinical investigation is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the commercially available IVC filters (retrievable and permanent) in subjects with clinical need for mechanical prophylaxis of PE with an IVC filter.
Emergency Medicine (EM) Residents routinely conduct bedside ultrasound exams in the Emergency Department (ED) employing the two point compression method. This study endeavors to investigate the accuracy and utility of bedside ultrasound for Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) in the ED by EM Residents by comparing the results of that exam against the gold standard of a DVT ultrasound performed in the Radiology Department and interpreted by a Radiologist.
