Filter by:Aim: To investigate if a symptom driven referral for chronic thrombosis in the lungs after acute pulmonary embolism is better than the current approach. Background: A number of patients with chronic thrombosis in the lungs after acute pulmonary embolism have dyspnea and reduced functional capacity without elevated pulmonary arterial pressure at rest (CTED). However, current guidelines for follow-up after acute pulmonary embolism will miss all patients with CTED, as referral for further examination is based on elevated pulmonary arterial pressure on echocardiography. Thus, the prevalence of CTED is unknown. The hypothesis is, that a symptom-driven referral of patients with previous acute pulmonary embolism is more sensitive in diagnosing CTED than the current approach. Methods and materials: Patients diagnosed with acute pulmonary embolism in Region Midt (approx. 350 per year) will be screened for non-recovery or persistent pulmonary embolism related symptoms during their 3-6 months follow up at their local outpatient clinic. If the patient has persistent symptoms they will be referred to a scintigraphy. If CTED is suspected from the scintigraphy, the patient will be referred for full CTED work-up. The investigators expect to screen 300 patients for persistent symptoms with an expected study time of 3 years.
The aim of this cross-sectional study is to describe the specific situations of thromboembolic disease in gynecological surgery and identify the risk factors of it.
This is a prospective observatory clinical study, aiming to establish and validate venous thromboembolism risk model in Chinese advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
patient with liver cirrhosis was supposed to have autoanticoagulation which approved to be wrong, with absence of conventional method to detect all abnormalities in coagulation state. Thromboelastography (TEG) give a broad picture for the coagulation defects. In addition to that no guidelines prescribed anticoagulants for venous thromboembolism in cirrhotic, so the investigators will do a study to demonstrate frequency and risk factors for acute venous thromboembolism in cirrhotic patients, find a conventional laboratory method and test TEG to assess risk of thrombosis in cirrhotic patients.Also, to validate current algorithm for use of anticoagulant and antiplatelet for thromboembolism for non cirrhotic in cirrhotic patients.
Management of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with cancer is complex and require the intervention of many specialized health professionals, in hospital but also at home and during follow-up. The AlloTC project aims to integrate the management of VTE within the multidisciplinary care pathway of the patient with cancer, in order to improve the management of VTE in patients with cancer: optimize treatments and follow-up with appropriate anticoagulants, monitor the implementation of good clinical practice, promote patient involvement and adherence. The objective of this monocentric study is to evaluate the efficiency of the integration of the therapeutic management of VTE into a specific management of patient with cancer and to set up a specialized "AlloTC" team that coordinates this course of care. For that purpose, the management of VTE and outcome of patients with cancer and VTE will be compared between two periods : traditional management and management with the "AlloTC" team.
the investigators hypothesize that some of these polymorphisms contribute to VTE risk in women using COC, and that their screening could to help assess individual risk of VTE before COC prescription. In order to test this hypothesis the investigators propose to build a predictive score for VTE in women using COC based on clinical and biological factors. To this end the investigators have a large case study (including 766 patients) recruited at the "Centre d'Exploration des Pathologies Hémorragiques et Thrombotiques" (CEHT) of the laboratory of Hematology (La Timone Hospital, Marseille) between 2003 and 2013. The cases had a personal history of documented VTE while using COC (PILGRIM study). A great number of clinical and biological relevant phenotypes in the field of VTE have already been collected (including 14 polymorphisms selected on the basis of their biological plausibility and the existence association studies).To our knowledge it is the largest study specifically conducted in order to assess genetic factors associated with VTE in women using COC. These 766 cases will be compared to 766 controls from the general population (cohort Nutrinet-Santé). Then, the predictive values of the score will be assessed in an independent multicentric validation study that the investigators will set up in the field of this project. Our study should allow a better understanding of the genetic and environmental factors involved in VTE related to COC use. Besides, this project aims to respond to a major public health issue giving an effective tool for the decision of prescribing COC.
AECOPD increases the risk of VTE.VTE prevention is a long way to go for high-risk VTE patients in China.The incidence of AECOPD complicated with VTE in Asian population is high and the mortality rate is high.Rivaroxaban, a new oral anticoagulant, has been widely used in the treatment and prevention of VTE.However the question about the efficacy and safety of new oral anticoagulant compared with LMWHs for the prevention of symptomatic VTE and VTE-related death post-hospital discharge in high-risk AECOPD patients is still unknown. Thus this study is to evaluate if the prophylactic anticoagulation effect by Rivaroxaban is non-inferiority than Enoxaprine in high risk AECOPD and to evaluate the safety of using Rivaroxaban to prevent VTE in high risk AECOPD comparing with Enoxaprine.
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) affects about 1,200,000 individuals each year in Europe. About 50% of VTE are unprovoked and 20% of these patients will face a recurrent event after the usual three to six‐month course of anticoagulant treatment. To date, most patients are given prolonged anticoagulant treatment. However, anticoagulant treatment are associated with a major risk of bleeding (3%/year). Thus an accurate identification of patients with unprovoked VTE with a low risk of recurrence is needed to avoid unnecessary anticoagulant treatment with a risk of bleeding. Over the past few years, microparticles (MPs) which are small vesicles originating from the budding of cellular membranes have emerged as important biological entities regulating hemostasis. MPs expose at their surface procoagulant molecules such as phosphatidylserin and tissue factor (TF). All data obtained in mouse models support a role of MPs in venous thrombosis mediated by the TF activation. Moreover, results from clinical studies showed that TF-MPs was associated with the risk of venous thrombosis. However, the predictive value of TF-MPs in the recurrence of VTE is unknown. Besides, no study has taken into account the recent progresses in the understanding of the role of MPs in haemostasis. Indeed, MPs vectorize molecules which are not only procoagulant but also profibrinolytic. The net result depends on a balance between both activities (the coagulo-lytic balance). This balance is can be measured by two complimentary assays on MPs. We hypothesized that the coagu-lytic balance of MPs is associated with an increased risk of VTE recurrence after stopping the anticoagulant treatment.
REMMITE, a retrospective and prospective registry with one-year follow-up, will provide valuable insights into the clinical diagnosis, management, treatment trends as well as related outcomes of three cohorts: DVT, DVT-PE, PE patients throughout many regions of Mexico and through different health care systems.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate women with heavy menstrual bleeding that have venous thromboembolism or atrial fibrillation. There will be a comparison of the anti-coagulants; drugs rivaroxaban or apixaban to see if one of the drugs works better to control bleeding during the women's menses.
