Filter by:Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a frequent and burdensome complication of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT). In the absence of curative treatment of established PTS, its management is based on the prevention of its occurrence thanks to anticoagulants and compression stockings. So far, predictors of disabling PTS are unknown precluding from optimally selecting patients for invasive (early thrombus removal) or innovative/expensive treatments. In addition, little is known on the incidence of PTS in the very long-term. Objectives: To assess, 12 years after a symptomatic venous thromboembolic (VTE) event, Primary objective: incidence and severity of PTS after a lower limb DVT. Main Secondary objectives: 1. Incidence and severity of PTS according to VTE initial presentation (isolated distal DVT, isolated proximal DVT, PE + DVT). 2. Incidence and risk factors of disabling PTS Methods: Very long-term follow-up (12 years) of patients recruited in the large, multicentre, prospective, observational OPTIMEV study for a suspicion of VTE confirmed or ruled out with objective tests (Clinical Trials NCT00670540). All patients with a DVT, an isolated PE and a random selection of controls (VTE - patients without any history of VTE after the 3 years of follow-up) will first benefit from a phone-PTS assessment. Those patients presenting at least a mild venous insufficiency and a selection of controls will undergo a clinical follow-up visit with clinical and Compleat Ultra Sound (CUS) assessment of PTS/venous insufficiency and an assessment of quality of life. Perspectives: Improving our knowledge of PTS' incidence and predictors and of the impact of usual treatment. Better selecting patients eligible for invasive/innovative/expensive preventative procedures.
This is a two arm, prospective, single center, randomized clinical trial. Subjects will be randomly assigned into one of two groups using block randomization technique in a 1:1 ratio. The control group will receive care using elastic compression stocking and the intervention group will use the ACTitouch device. Stratified randomization will occur based on whether the Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) has iliac or non-iliac involvement. Subjects will be followed for 2 years with clinic visits occurring at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months.
Primary objective: To assess the efficacy of the stents (sinus-Obliquus stent for the common iliac vein, the sinus-XL Flex stent or sinus-Venous stent for the external iliac and common femoral veins) by evaluating different gradations of patency rates, patient's rating of disease severity and quality of life in patients with post-thrombotic syndrome and concomitant common iliac vein compression. Secondary objective: To assess long-term safety of venous stenting
The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of adjunctive catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT), which includes the intrathrombus administration of rt-PA (Activase/Alteplase), can prevent post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) in pediatric patients with symptomatic proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT) as compared with optimal standard anticoagulation alone.
This study aims to evaluate whether, in a standardised cohort of patients with mild to moderate PTS, monitored for a sufficiently long follow-up period, quality of life measured by generic instruments and disease-specific instruments evolves favourably in this patient profile. Study objective: to evaluate the evolution of quality of life in general and in the specific context of the disease of patients who have experienced an episode of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT), are affected by post-thrombotic syndrome, are subject to compression therapy and receive an additional standard venoactive agent (sulodexide 15 mg twice daily during 6 months).
The purpose of this study is to examine patency rates of self-expanding nitinol stents for treatment of iliofemoral and inferior vena cava residual thrombosis, obstruction or stenosis. Moreover, clinical outcome data of patients treated with these venous stents will be collected.
This prospective observational follow-up study is designed to assess the long-term outcomes after Venous thromboembolism (VTE) and to assess the effect of the new oral anticoagulant (NOAC) rivaroxaban on the prevalence of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). The study will not be testing any formal hypothesis.
To evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound accelerated thrombolysis using the EkoSonic® Endovascular System with standard infusion of thrombolytic drug for post-thrombotic syndrome from chronic venous occlusion.
Deep Venous Thrombosis affects more than 350,000 individuals each year in the U.S.The Registry will track patient outcome and quality of life over 60 months for treatment with anticoagulation and elastic compression stockings and catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) in accordance with current treatment guidelines .
Patients with unilateral post-thrombotic obstruction of the iliac tract and or common femoral vein, eligible for stenting are included. Intravenous pressure is measured in both dorsal foot veins and both common femoral veins. Patients are asked to undergo a standardised treadmill test (3.2km/h, 0% slope that increases by 2%/2min, maximum walking time 26 min). Painfree and maximum action radius are noted.
