Filter by:This study seeks to determine the rate of thromboembolic complications (blood clots), including death attributed to thromboembolic disease, when anticoagulation (blood thinner) therapy is withheld from pregnant patients suspected of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after a whole-leg compression ultrasound shows no DVT. Patients are followed for three months after the ultrasound to determine if a blood clot is diagnosed during that time.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)is devastating disease which influencing the mortality and morbidity of patients at-risk like those undergoing orthopedic surgery. Recent publication suggested HMO-co-A reductase inhibitor (statin) may reduce the occurrence rate of venous thromboembolism in apparently healthy persons. The pleiotropic property of statin like antioxidant, antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory may have effect on the positive results. We are investigating whether rosuvastatin is associated with lower incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients undergoing total knee replacement arthroplasty(TKRA)who are at-high risk for developing DVT
The investigators aimed to use pharmacogenetic information in clinical practise which may lead to rapid, efficient, and safe warfarin dosing in this observational prospective study. In this context, the investigators plan to develop an algorithm for estimating the appropriate warfarin dose that is based on both clinical and genetic data from the Turkish study population. This study is unique not only investigating clinical factors, demographic variables, CYP2C9, and VKORC1 gene variations which contribute to the variability among patients in dose requirements for warfarin but also including thrombogenic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the same patient population. Thus, warfarin would be a good example by being the first cardiovascular drug for pharmacogenetic guided "personalized medicine" applications.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine the need for thromboprophylaxis in patients with a fracture of the lower extremity being treated conservatively in a below-knee plaster cast and to assess if both of the two tested prophylactic treatments are effective for this indication. Hypothesis: Nadroparine and Fondaparinux are both effective in preventing a thromboembolic event in patients with a nonsurgical fracture of a lower extremity immobilised in a below-knee plaster cast.
The duration of anticoagulant treatment in cancer patients with Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) of the lower limbs is still uncertain. The present study addresses the possible role of the Residual Vein Thrombosis (RVT) for establishing the optimal duration of Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH). Patients with a first episode of symptomatic unprovoked or provoked proximal DVT will received LMWHs for 6 months; RVT, ultrasonographically-detected, will be then assessed. Patients without RVT stop LMWH, whereas those with RVT will be randomized to either stop or continue OAT for additional 6 months. Patients were followed-up at least 1 year after anticoagulant discontinuation focusing on the study outcomes: occurrence of recurrent venous thromboembolism and major bleeding
