Filter by:Thromboembolisms (TEs) in patients with critical COVID-19 has been reported to be three times higher than for other critically ill patients. Immunothrombosis has been proposed as a plausible mechanism for COVID-19 coagulopathy. Corticosteroids improve survival in patients with critical COVID-19, and likely even more so with a higher dose. However, the evidence regarding the impact on the incidence of thromboembolic and bleeding events are currently uncharted. The aim of this study is to investigate if there is a difference in the incidence of thromboembolic events during ICU stay in patients with critical COVID-19 when treated with 12 mg dexamethasone compared to 6 mg dexamethasone.
Primary endpoint of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic characteristics of AD-109 in healthy male subjects.
The purpose of this clinical study is to assess the safety, performance, and treatment effect of the use of the AorticLab FLOWer System, in preventing cerebral thromboembolic complications in patients with indication for a TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implant).
Hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism (HA-VTE) is one of the leading preventable causes of in-hospital mortality, but prevention of VTE in hospitalized medical patients remains challenging, as preventive measures such as pharmacological thromboprophylaxis (TPX) need to be tailored to individual thrombotic risk. The broad objective of this project is to improve VTE prevention strategies in hospitalized medical patients by prospectively examining VTE risk factors (including mobility) and comparing existing risk assessment models.
Severe COVID-19 patients at a high risk of venous thromboembolism. We studied patients in 2 intensive care units of university hospitals in Barcelona and Badalona, Spain. We performed a cut-off screening of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) with bilateral duplex ultrasound to 230 patients.
This is a compassionate use, proof of concept, phase IIb, prospective, interventional, pilot study in which the investigators will evaluate the effects of compassionate-use treatment with IV tirofiban 25 mcg/kg, associated with acetylsalicylic acid IV, clopidogrel PO and fondaparinux 2.5 mg s/c, in patients affected by severe respiratory failure in Covid-19 associated pneumonia who underwent treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
This registry is designed to understand acoustic pulse thrombolysis (APT) treatment regimens used as standard of care globally for pulmonary embolism. The registry will include individuals who have already received the APT treatment and those that will undergo APT treatment.
Remote ischemic postconditioning (RIPC) is suggested to protect the cerebral cell against ischemia in various settings. However, the effect of RIPC in patients with acute ischemic stroke who undergo thrombolysis has yet to be examined. In this single-center, randomized controlled trial, we examined the effect of RIPC on the resolution of nerve function deficient in response to thrombolysis. Patients in the RIPC group had five cycles of 5-min cuff inflation followed by 3-min deflation to the bilateral upper arm after thrombolysis. The primary endpoint was the recovery of nerve function deficient assessed by National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS), Activities of Daily Living(ADL), Modified Rankin Scale(mRS), CT cerebral perfusion imaging (CTP) and CT angiography(CTA). Secondary endpoints included the following: angiogenesis assessed by the level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF).
This study will assess the effect of apixaban on thrombotic status in patients with atrial fibrillation.In addition it will compare apixaban to aspirin and warfarin on their effect on endogenous fibrinolysis.
Oral antithrombotic medications (OAM) are used for the prevention and treatment of thrombotic disorders. Among hemorrhagic complications of OAMs, intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) may have particularly devastating consequences with high morbidity, disability and mortality rates. The efficacy and safety profiles of OAMs are generally assessed in randomized controlled trials (RCT), but included patients are often highly selected and may not be representative of users in everyday clinical practice in terms of follow-up routines, age, gender, drug compliance, and polypharmacy. Moreover, it is often unclear whether or not traumatic ICHs are registered and reported in RCTs. Drifts in indications and treatment criteria may also be seen in everyday practice and drug discontinuation due to precautionary concerns including compliance, fall risk and comorbidity may be forgotten. Collectively, these factors may lead to other and potentially higher traumatic ICH rates in general clinical use than reported in RCTs. The incidence rates of traumatic ICH in patients on OAMs in the general population remain unknown. In this nationwide registry based pharmacoepidemiological study we will investigate the incidence and case fatality of traumatic ICH in users of OAMs in Norway from 2008 through 2014.
