Filter by:Рrospective single-centre randomized open-label study for comparison three modes of treatment for thrombosis of varicose great saphena vein - standard medical with fondaparinux sodium for 45 days, endovenous laser ablation close to the saphenofemoral junction with a 7-day course of anticoagulation and endovenous laser ablation close to the saphenofemoral junction without the use of anticoagulants.
The goal of this study is to determine if early placement of a midline catheter in patients with a central venous catheter (CVC) will decrease the number of days the CVC is in place. Patients who are in the medical intensive care unit (MICU) and have a CVC may be approached to join the study. Those who meet study eligibility and provide written consent will be enrolled. The longer the CVC remains in place,the greater the chance of developing an infection or blood clot. Any IV line that is placed (CVC, midline, peripheral line) comes with the risk of infection or blood clots, although that risk is generally less with the midline and peripheral IV lines than a CVC. The treating team will make the decision when to remove the CVC. The timeline of removal will be compared to previous data collected on patients similar to the ones in this study. During their hospital stay, study patients will be monitored for how well the midline catheter is functioning as well as if they develop a catheter related blood clot or infection.
Superficial vein thrombosis (SVT) and venous thromboembolism (VTE) are related entities. Only in the last years a series of observational studies mainly conducted in France could show that ´isolated SVT´ (without concomitant deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism) is in fact not a benign and spontaneously healing disease but bears a potential for severe thromboembolic complications once not treated adequately. INSIGHTS-SVT study aims at collecting representative data on the current management and outcomes of SVT in Germany under real-life conditions. It will document the implementation of the recently issued national SVT guidelines issued by the Society for Angiology (DGA) and the Society for Phlebology (DGP).
To date, the investigators still do not know the annual incidence of Superficial Vein Thrombosis in the legs, although the investigators do know that this pathology is frequent and the investigators can assume its incidence is greater than Deep Vein Thrombosis which is of 1 to 2 cases per year per 1,000 inhabitants. Furthermore, the high percentage of SVT with concomitant DVT and Pulmonary Embolism only concerns patients seen in vascular medicine, so it is important to re-evaluate this rate on an unselected population from general practice.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban versus fondaparinux in the treatment of superficial vein thrombosis (SVT).
