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.
The primary objective in this cross-sectional study is to assess the prevalence of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) in the two treatment arms of the RE-COVER studies (warfarin versus dabigatran). PTS will be assessed by the recently developed Patient Reported Villalta (PRV) Score. Secondary objectives: to assess in both treatment arms the 1. Prevalence of recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) after the discontinuation of study treatment. 2. Prevalence of PTS determined by the standard Villalta score. 3. Health related Quality of Life (HRQoL).
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
This is an observational, longitudinal real world registry of venous leg ulcers created from electronic health record data obtained in the course of clinical care. Data from certified electronic health records transmit data as part of the requirement to share data with a specialty registry under Objective 10 of Meaningful Use of an EHR.
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 goal of the Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Registry (NPWTR) for Wounds is to provide real world patient data from electronic health records submitted to meet Stage 2 Meaningful Use in order to understand the effectiveness and safety of various NPWT devices and methods among patients with chronic wounds and ulcers. Randomized, controlled trials to establish product efficacy routinely exclude patients with the co-morbid conditions common to patients seen in usual clinical practice and thus the results of these Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) tend to be non-generalizable. Little is known about the effectiveness of NPWT among typical patients. Patient registries are also ideal for assessing long term safety issues in these devices.
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.
The purpose of the study is to assess treatment tolerance and comfort in chronic VLUs after 4 weeks of treatment using a dual action pneumatic compression device.
