View clinical trials related to Embolism and Thrombosis.
Filter by:Multicenter longitudinal observational ambispective (retrospective cases from 2014 and prospective from 2018 onwards) cohort study. The registry recruits a series of consecutive patients admitted for moderate-high risk or high-risk pulmonary embolism (according to 2019 European Society of Cardiology guidelines) treated invasively. This study aims to describe the acute management of the safety and effectiveness of different percutaneous interventions for acute pulmonary embolism.
The goal of this multicentric clinical trial is to compare the incidence of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE), assessed through AngioCT, in the endovascular treatment of acute thrombosis in native and prosthetic arteriovenous fistulas (AVF). The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the difference in the incidence of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) assessed by AngioCT in endovascular treatment of acute thrombosis of native and prosthetic arteriovenous fistulas using balloon thrombectomy versus thromboaspiration systems? - What is the primary patency rate of arteriovenous fistulas treated with balloon thrombectomy versus thromboaspiration systems? - What is the clinical success rate in the treatment of arteriovenous fistulas using balloon thrombectomy compared to thromboaspiration systems? - What are the costs associated with the different thrombectomy techniques in the treatment of arteriovenous fistulas? Participants will be underwent to balloon thrombectomy versus thromboaspiration systems. Researchers will compare the patients treated with balloon thrombectomy and thromboaspiration systems to see if the incidence of PE is comparable and to evaluate the primary and secondary patency rates of both thrombectomy techniques, the clinical technical success rate, and the costs associated with each technique.
Evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Aventus Thrombectomy System for aspiration thrombectomy in subjects with acute pulmonary embolism.
BACKGROUND: Worldwide, 2 million patients aged 18-50 years suffer an ischemic stroke each year with an increasing trend over the past decade due to yet unknown reasons. Whereas prognosis and antithrombotic treatment in older patients with cardiovascular disease are among the best studied topics in clinical medicine, this does not hold true for patients at young age. It is of great importance to treat these patient groups correctly to prevent recurrence and bleeding complications. However, previous research have shown that there is a long-term increased risk of recurrent ischemic events despite the secondary prevention and a subsequent increased bleeding risk. To tailor effective antithrombotic therapy to the individual patient, it is essential to understand the underlying pathogenesis and identify modifiable risk factors in young patients for recurrence or bleeding. It is thought that abnormalities of hemostasis may play a key role in early-onset ischemic stroke. First, prothrombotic conditions are associated with an increased risk for ischemic stroke at young age. In addition, disturbance of the hemostatic balance due to one or several triggers can activate the coagulation cascade, which on its turn can lead or contribute to clot formation and subsequent arterial occlusion. In previous study, there were indications that trigger factors such as fever and/or an infection in the days prior to the stroke may play a role in the pathogenesis. This suggests that an interaction between inflammation, endothelial damage and coagulation may lead to the formation of a clot. In this observational study we aim to investigate the role of the immune system, endothelial damage and coagulation in the pathogenesis and prognosis of stroke in young patients. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of hemostasis, inflammation and endothelial activation in the etiology and prognosis in an acute ischemic stroke (or TIA) in young stroke patients. STUDY DESIGN: Multicentre prospective observational study STUDY POPULATION: All patients aged between 18 and 50 years old with a first-ever ischemic stroke or TIA who are admitted to the neurology ward or seen at the outpatient clinic of one of the participating centers. Main exclusion criteria are: history of clinical TIA, ischemic stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage. A intracerebral hemorrhage resulting from trauma, known aneurysm or underlying intracerebral malignancy. A venous infarction, retinal infarction and amourosis fugax. Inadequate control of the Dutch language to reliably sign an informed consent from and/or participate in the follow-up. Patients are excluded if they have a contra indication for 3T MRI. In addition 60 healthy controls (18-50 years old) will be included. MAIN STUDY ENDPOINTS: 1. Baseline and 3 months coagulation profile: Whole blood and platelet poor plasma thrombin generation, platelet function tests, and coagulation biomarkers, screening for thrombophilia. 2. Baseline and 3 months inflammation/endothelial activation profile: Cytokines/chemokines, expression of receptors/cofactors related to hemostasis on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), stimulation tests of PBMC's to assess trained immunity. 3. Vessel wall enhancement on 3 Tesla MRI 4. Questionnaire trigger factors
To research and develop new state of the art diagnostic biomarkers on the LumiraDx Platform that are comparable to the approved gold standard reference methods and will radically enhance clinicians and patients ability to monitor health conditions and improve outcomes by delivering the results near patient at the point of care.
The investigators aim to build a predictive tool for Adverse Outcome of Acute Pulmonary Embolism by Artificial Intelligence System Based on CT Pulmonary Angiography.
This study collected clinical, laboratory, and CT parameters of acute patients with acute pulmonary embolism from admission to predict adverse outcomes within 30 days after admission into hospital.
The aim of this study is to prospectively validate the safety and efficiency of management according to the YEARS algorithm to safely rule out clinically suspected PE in patients with active malignancy to be compared with 'standard' management by computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) alone in a randomized study.
Novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) has emerged as a major international public health concern. While much of the morbidity and mortality associated with COVID-19 has been attributed to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or end-organ failure, emerging data suggest that disorders of coagulation, in particular hypercoagulability and venous thromboembolism (VTE), may represent an additional major, and possibly preventable, complication (Wu C, et al. JAMA Intern Med. 2020 Mar 13. [Epub ahead of print] and Tang N, et al. Thromb. Haemost. 2020 Feb 19. [EPub Ahead of Print]). Abnormal coagulation testing results, especially markedly elevated D-dimer and FDP, have been associated with a poor prognosis in COVID-19 infection. We propose the following Electronic Health Record (EHR)-guided 10000-patient, retrospective observational cohort study to assess VTE incidence, risk factors, prevention and management patterns, and thrombotic outcomes in patients with COVID-19 infection. In order to gain the valuable perspective of other regional and national centers providing care for large populations of COVID-19, we have started a collaborative network with 5 additional sites which will provide us with de-identified data from 1000 patients each. These 5000 patients in addition to the 5000-patient cohort we are enrolling within the Mass General Brigham Network will comprise this study population.
Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) has been identified as the pathogen responsible for severe acute respiratory syndrome associated with severe inflammatory syndrome and pneumonia (COVID-19). Haemostasis abnormalities have been shown to be associated with a poor prognosis in these patients with this pneumonia. In a Chinese series of 183 patients, the hemostasis balance including thrombin time, fibrinogenemia, fibrin degradation products and antithrombin III were within normal limits. Only the D-Dimer assay was positive in the whole cohort with an average rate of 0.66 µg / mL (normal <50 µg / mL). These hemostasis parameters were abnormal mainly in patients who died during their management; the levels of D-dimers and fibrin degradation products were significantly higher while the antithrombin III was reduced. The findings on the particular elevation of D-dimers in deceased patients as well as the significant increase in thrombin time were also reported in another series. Higher numbers of pulmonary embolisms have been reported in patients with severe form of SARS-COV2 (data in press). This research is based on the hypothesis that the existence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) could make it possible to screen patients at risk of pulmonary embolism and to set up a curative anticoagulation. The main objective is to describe the prevalence of deep vein thrombosis in patients hospitalized in intensive care for acute respiratory failure linked to documented SARS-COV2 pneumonia, within 24 hours of their admission.
