Filter by:Initiated in January 2008, The PE-aWARE (Pulmonary Embolism WArsaw REgistry) is an on-going single-centre prospective observational study of patients with confirmed acute pulmonary embolism (APE). Extensive data on consecutive patients with pulmonary embolism is collected and stored. The main objective is to collect and provide information on patients' characteristics, management, and outcome with the purpose of decreasing mortality in APE, the occurrence of bleeding, and the frequency of thromboembolic recurrences. Moreover, the PE-aWARE registry serves as a basis for creating predictive scores for clinicians which aid patient management. The study endpoints comprise clinically recognized (and objectively confirmed) recurrences of PE, major and minor bleeding complications classified according to the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis classification, need for cardiopulmonary resuscitation or catecholamines, and death.
Prevention and Prophylaxis (Thromboprophylaxis - ACT) of Cancer Associated Thrombosis (CAT) in High Risk Oncology Patients: ACT4CAT.
The objective of the "anticoagchoice" study is to analyze the preferences of people suffering from phlebitis, in terms of anticoagulant, to improve adherence to these treatments, to adapt the medical prescriptions.
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a pulmonary vascular disease that seriously endangers human health. It has the characteristics of high morbidity, high mortality, high misdiagnosis rate and low detection rate. The mortality rate in March is about 10%. The high-risk and high-risk PE mortality rate is greater than 15%. Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a serious sequelae after PE, with a poor prognosis and expensive treatment. Systemic thrombolysis is the preferred treatment for acute high-risk pulmonary embolism, which can reduce mortality, but the incidence of major bleeding is increased by 5 times and hemorrhagic stroke is increased by 10 times. Recent studies have concluded that interventional therapy is a viable approach with a high success rate, effective improvement of clinical outcomes, and minimization of major bleeding risks. However, there is no good prospective study of interventional therapy compared with systemic thrombolytic therapy. This study was enrolled in the diagnosis of high-risk and high-risk PE patients, randomized to the system of thrombolytic therapy or interventional therapy (including pulmonary artery catheter contact thrombolysis, catheter thrombectomy, thrombus aspiration and mechanical thrombectomy, etc.) Symptoms improved during surgery, right heart condition, mortality and complications, and were followed up to December to observe PE recurrence CETPH, survival and cardiopulmonary function. In order to provide new evidence for the treatment of fatal pulmonary embolism.
Ongoing registration of patients with venous thromboembolism treated by means of antithrombotic therapy, thrombolisys, open surgery, endovenous desobstruction and stenting.
BETULA trial will compare the efficacy of low dose catheter directed thrombolysis (CDT) to unfractioned heparin (UFH) in patients with intermediary-high risk pulmonary embolism (PE). Patients (n=60) with acute intermediary-high risk PE will be randomized 1:1 to UFH (bolus 80 international units per kilo (IU/kg)) followed by 18 IU/kg/hour until activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) is 2-2.5 of reference value) or CDT (4mg alteplase (r-tPA) per catheter, infusion over 2 hours) in an open label, outcome assessor blinded, randomized, controlled trial. Primary efficacy endpoint is improvement in right-/left ventricular ratio 24 hours after randomization. Secondary endpoints are 30 days mortality, recurrent PE, length of hospital stay and reduction in thrombus burden evaluated by pulmonary CT angio. Safety endpoints are minor and major bleedings.
As of today, no suitable multiparametric predictive method is available to properly estimate stroke risk in patients with carotid artery stenosis. Carotid artery stenosis is one of the proven risk factors of stroke incidence, but the indication of its intervention is merely the grade of stenosis itself. The current international guidelines suggest intervention for asymptomatic patients only with potentially high risk plaques but pharmacological treatment is advised to low risk patients. Unfortunately there is no proven and widely accepted system to distinguish these two categories of patients with carotid artery stenosis. In this project the following parameters will be assessed both in asymptomatic and symptomatic patients: 1, preoperative stroke risk prediction based on comparative analysis of CT angiography (CTA) results of plaque morphology and ultrasound (US) based plaque elastography analysis, 2) intracranial bloodflow will be measured by transcranial Doppler sonography(TCD), 3) presence recent of silent brain ischemia on diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) MR (magnetic resonance), 4) retinal perfusion measurement by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT). The investigators aim to establish a clinically meaningful and more accurate (than stenosis grade) stroke risk prediction algorithm for asymptomatic carotid stenosis patients based on these parameters.
This study is a effectiveness study of the application of high-definition enhanced computed-tomography for patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension(CTEPH).The patients with CTEPH was randomized into 2 groups,precise pulmonary endarterectomy group(guided by enhanced CT scanning) and traditional pulmonary endarterectomy group,the hemodynamic changes tested with right sided heart catherization from baseline to post-operative period and end-point including peri-operative deaths,follow-up mortality,follow-up parameters of ultrasonic cardiogram(UCG),right-sided heart catherization(RHC),nuclear magnetic resonance imaging(MRI),cardiac pulmonary exercise test(CPET) are documented,so as to compare the prognosis between these 2 groups.
Infective endocarditis (IE) is associated with an overall in-hospital mortality rate of 15-25% and a high incidence of embolic events (20-50%). Leading causes of mortality are heart failure (HF) resulting from valve dysfunction, and stroke caused by vegetation embolization. The rate of symptomatic embolic events occurring after antibiotic initiation is around 15%. Valve surgery benefit has been clearly demonstrated in patients with periannular complications and moderate to severe HF resulting from acute valve regurgitation. The timing of surgery to prevent embolism is critical since the risk of new embolic event is highest during the first weeks of antibiotic treatment. The primary objective is to compare clinical outcomes of Early Valve Surgery (as soon as possible within 72 hours of randomization) with those of a conventional management based on current guidelines in patients with native left-sided IE and high risk of embolism. 208 patients (104 patients per arm) will be included in a national multicenter (21 centers) prospective randomized open blinded end-point (PROBE) sequential superiority trial.
The aim of the study is to assess the prevalence of left atrial thrombus in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) or atrial flutter (AFI), in whom transesophageal echocardiography is performed before AF/AFl cardioversion or ablation.
