Filter by:In an open-label parallel groups blinded-endpoint randomized clinical trial, the investigators aim to assess the safety and efficacy of conventional catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) vs anticoagulation monotherapy on outcomes of patients with acute intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism. The investigators hypothesize that CDT will have a superior efficacy and safety compared with anticoagulation-only therapy regarding the proportion of patients with a right ventricle to left ventricle (RV/LV) ratio > 0.9 at a 3-month follow-up by an imaging core laboratory, major bleeding, severe thrombocytopenia, or vascular access complication.
Glioma patients with history of venous thromboembolism (VTE) treated on low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) and who decided with their physician to convert to Apixaban (oral drug) will be enrolled into our study and will collect data regarding recurrent VTE and Intracranial hemorrhage and the incidence of these events.
This study is an international, multicenter, academically sponsored, observational study, that focusses on fertile female patients with proven symptomatic deep vein thrombosis of the legs (DVT) or acute pulmonary embolism (PE). The incidence and severity of abnormal menstrual bleeding will be assessed for each menstrual period and correlated to quality of life. Causes of abnormal menstrual bleeding other than active anticoagulant treatment will be assessed. Treatment of abnormal menstrual bleeding (all within routine clinical care) will be evaluated for efficacy and safety.
The primary objective is to test the hypothesis that enoxaparin efficacy is reduced in severe nephrotic syndrome. Another purpose is to compare two dosing regimens.
Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) patients remain at risk for pump thrombus and thromboembolic events through multiple mechanisms. The HeartWare® Ventricular Assist System (HVAD®, HeartWare Inc., Framingham, MA, USA) includes a novel speed modulation feature called Lavare™ cycle. The Lavare™ Cycle is aimed to promote washing of left ventricle to decrease blood stasis and subsequent risk of thrombus formation, ingestion and/or expulsion. No prior study has prospectively evaluated the impact of Lavare™ cycle on patient outcomes in a randomized fashion. We intend to assess effects of Lavare™ Cycle among patients receiving HVAD LVAD in this randomized controlled pilot project.
Interventional, no-randomized, open-label, and single arm multicentre study of apixaban for the prevention of thromboembolic events during induction therapy in transplant-eligible patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who receive bortezomib, thalidomide, and dexamethasone (VTD) during the induction phase of therapy prior to autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). The current study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of apixaban during the induction period. Efficacy will be defined as a composite endpoint of acute symptomatic proximal and distal deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, VTE related deaths, and acute ischemic stroke.
Anticoagulants are used to prevent thrombotic events in patients with predisposing factors. However, the use of such therapies is associated with bleeding complications, which can be a serious safety issue. Thus, it is important to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of such therapies based on data collected in clinical practice in order to generate relevant scientific data that could be used to support clinical and regulatory decisions. This is an open, prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study that aims to prospectively record the clinical history of adult patients receiving anticoagulant treatment, irrespectively of the prescribed drug and the indication for its use.
The study aims at optimizing the long-term and extended management of patients with a first episode of venous thromboembolism (proximal deep vein thrombosis with or without pulmonary embolism) (VTE). Patients at high risk of recurrence (with altered D-dimer test), who had received anticoagulation (whatever the drug used) for 12-15 months after the first episode of thrombosis, will be treated with Apixaban 2,5 mg x 2 for 18 months as extended treatment. Patients at low risk, with normal D-dimer test, will stop anticoagulation definitely.
The Researchers are studying whether a vascular boot warming program plus standard of care anticoagulation can be a safe and effective method to resolve Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) ±Pulmonary Embolism (PE) earlier and prevent development of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). Additionally, to learn whether a more detailed imaging of the affected lower extremities will provide a more accurate and reliable method to guide treatment for this condition.
Cancer patients that develop blood clots are treated with low molecular weight heparin injections (LMWH). One kind of these LMWHs, dalteparin, has its dose determined based on a patient's weight using a formula of 200 international units (IU) per kilogram (kg). The current dosing of dalteparin approved by Health Canada has a maximum daily dose of 18 000 IU/day which is weight-adjusted for patients up to 90 kg. Any patient weighing more than 90 kg would take the same dosage regardless of their weight. The aim of this study is to assess the safety of using weight-adjusted dalteparin in cancer-associated venous thromboembolism patients that weigh more than 90 kg.
