Filter by:A prospective, single-center, open-label,randomized, controlled,non-inferiority clinical trial will be conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a dedicated venous sinus thrombectomy stent for endovascular treatment of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis.
Ipsilateral popliteal venous the most common access for pharmacomechanical thrombectomy (PMT) in the treatment of acute deep venous thrombosis (DVT), but the result was not satisfactory. The investigators adjust the access to improve the thrombus clearance rate and reduce the incidence of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS).
Cancer is associated with an increased incidence of thrombosis and thromboembolic events are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in this population. The main consideration has been given to venous thromboembolic events (VTEs); arterial thrombotic events (ATEs) have more recently been recognized to precede cancer diagnosis and/or follow it as a serious complication. Thus, while plausible, the relationship between cancer and arterial thrombosis is less well established than for VTE. We sought to undertake the COMPASS-ARTeCAT (Comparison of Methods for thromboembolic risk assessment with clinical Perceptions and AwareneSS in real life patients- Arterial Cancer Associated Thrombosis) study aiming to identify the most clinically relevant clinical predictors of arterial thrombosis in ambulatory patients with specific types of cancer who are going to start or have already started anticancer treatment. This study aims to evaluate the incidence and the association between arterial thromboembolism and occult cancer. Moreover, this study will provide a risk assessment model (RAM) for arterial thrombosis applicable to cancer patients at any time after anticancer therapy initiation
Patients with cancer are prone to have blood clots, which are usually treated with blood thinners. The main complication of blood thinners is bleeding. This is especially a concern when the number of platelets in the blood is lower than 50,000 per microliter. The role of platelets is to stop bleeding, so when the number of platelets is low, patients are at a higher risk of bleeding. Cancer patients are prone to have lower platelet numbers due to cancer therapies and/or cancer itself. It is not clear what the best treatment is for cancer patients who need blood thinners for a blood clot but have low platelet counts. The investigators plan to do a small study called a pilot study to help plan for a larger study in such patients. In the pilot study, investigators will include 50 patients with cancer, low platelet counts, and a blood clot diagnosed within 4 weeks. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment strategies: the full dose of blood thinners along with platelet transfusion or a reduced dose of blood thinners without platelet transfusion. The investigators will follow all patients for 90 days. If this pilot study is successful, it will help lead to a much larger trial, which will provide important information on the best treatment strategy in these patients.
This pilot open-label randomized controlled trial aims to assess if treatment with sulodexide may improve the endothelial status and inflammatory response in post-COVID-19 patients. Survived inpatients with severe-to-critical COVID-19 within 14 days after discharge are randomized to receive sulodexide 250 LSU 1 oral capsule twice daily or no treatment for 8 weeks. Biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, and prothrombotic changes are assessed at 0, 4, and 8 weeks. The hypothesis is that affected endothelial function, pro-inflammatory, and pro-thrombotic changes could be improved with sulodexide treatment in convalescent COVID-19 patients who suffered a severe-to-critical clinical presentation and have chronic comorbidities of high risk for endothelial dysfunction.
Thromboprophylaxis for pancreatic surgery can be commenced either preoperatively or postoperatively. Despite a clear trade-off between thrombosis and bleeding in pancreatic surgery patients, there is no international consensus when thrombosis prophylaxis should be commenced in patients undergoing pancreatic surgery. There are no prospective randomized trials in this field, and current guidelines are unfortunately based on very low quality evidence, that is, a few retrospective studies and expert opinion. Both American and European thromboprophylaxis guidelines for abdominal cancer surgery support the preoperative initiation of thromboprophylaxis, but these guidelines do not specifically address the increased bleeding risk associated with pancreatic surgery. On the contrary, Dutch guidelines recommend postoperative thromboprophylaxis only, because of lack of evidence for preoperative thromboprophylaxis. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Society Guidelines recommend preoperative thromboprophylaxis in pancreatic surgery, but the guidelines provide no supporting evidence for this recommendation. Overall, the amount of evidence is scarce and somewhat contradictory in this clinically relevant field of thromboprophylaxis in pancreatic surgery. The aim of this study is to compare pre- and postoperatively initiated thromboprophylaxis regimens in pancreatic surgery in a randomized controlled trial.
Chronic mesenteric ischemia (CMI) is often caused by narrowings in the arteries providing blood to the intestines. Endovascular stent placement is considered the preferred treatment for this condition. Guidelines increasingly support the use of so called covered stents (CS) in stead of bare stents (BMS) for this use but the level of evidence for this is limited. Using CS incur additional costs for healthcare short-term but may prevent recurrence of narrowing and symptoms postoperatively benefitting patients and healthcare. Study Objective: To evaluate the outcomes after stenting of mesenteric arteries using BMS or CS. Study Outcome: Primary stent patency 1 year after placement The trial will also evaluate complications, how often stents need to be reoperated, Quality of Life (QoL) and reasons for subjects death Method: This is a so called prospective, randomized controlled trial comparing CS vs. BMS. This means that one patients have agrred to treatment they will be randomly selected for treatment with either CS or BMS . The stent metal structure is identical in the two implants and the only difference is the graft covering, making this study unique. The study will also collect blood samples for a biobank that will be used to study markers of disease and how these effect treatment outcomes. All patients referred to the Department of Vascular Surgery due to CMI are considered for inclusion if they havechronic symptoms consistent with CMI, significant stenosis or occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery and are > 18 years Subjects not able to provide informed consent or who have non atherosclerotic cause of CMI, signs of acute loss of blood flow to the intestines cannot participate. Previous stent treatment in the superior mesenteric artery, pregnancy, allergies to contrast or stent materials are also reasons for not being included in this trial. Side effects, risks and disadvantages for participants The risk for procedure-related complications is less than 5% and similar in both study groups. Most short-term complications are related to vascular access sites and consist of local bleeding and thrombosis. Other potential complications include impaired renal function due to contrast use, contrast allergy, arterial dissection and death.
