View clinical trials related to Post Thrombotic Syndrome.
Filter by:Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common malignant disease in childhood. Today more than 90% of children and 75% of adults (18-45 years) survive ALL. The enzyme Asparaginase (Asp) is an indispensable part of the multiagent treatment of ALL. Treatment related severe acute toxicities are common. Especially in teenagers and adults, thromboembolism is one of the most common acute toxicities and may result in post thrombotic syndrome (PTS) or pulmonary hypertension. The knowledge about these late effects is limited, including for ALL patients.
Centers that participated in the HOKUSAI VTE trial will be invited to collect follow of previously enrolled patients at least 2 years after the index VTE.
'The PACT trial' is randomized pilot trial to demonstrate the feasibility and potential effectiveness of a personal "fitness tracker" to improve adherence to an activity regimen following an initial acute DVT in children.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
Post thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a frequent and burdensome complication of proximal deep-vein thrombosis.Therapeutic options for PTS are limited and mainly rely on its prevention. Therapeutic trials evidenced that elastic compression stockings (ECS) applying 30-40mmHg of pressure at the ankle reduced the rate of PTS by 50%. Although ECS are unlikely to cause harm, in clinical practice, compliance to this treatment appears to be low as ECS may be difficult to apply and to wear. ECS with a lighter compression strength (20-30mmHg) might be easier to apply and be more comfortable. This could favor a better compliance. CELEST is a randomized, multicentre, double-blind trial which aims to determine whether ECS applying 25mmHg of targeted pressure at the ankle are non inferior to ECS applying 35mmHg of targeted pressure at the ankle
Medical compression stockings are highly effective in the prevention, treatment, and secondary prevention of chronic venous insufficiency and of post-thrombotic syndrome. Non-adherence to the prescribed compression treatment concerns approximately 40% of patients. Elderly patients are often unable to handle stockings in order to put them on properly in the morning and to undress in the evening. Gliding aids and stocking "butlers" are two types of tools to facilitate the dressing manoeuvre with medical stockings. The present study evaluates four different gliding aids and two different stocking "butlers" to put on three different types of compression stockings. The study is conducted with forty consenting subjects with advanced chronic venous insufficiency.
