Filter by:Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a supraventricular arrhythmia characterized by uncoordinated and fast atrial activity, and coronary artery disease (chronic and acute coronary syndrome) is characterized by a generally atheromatous narrowing of the coronary arteries. Angioplasty is necessary to restore arterial circulation in coronary artery disease. A dual anti-aggregating therapy is then initiated in these patients in parallel with treatment of AF with anticoagulation. This triple therapy exposes the patient to an increased risk of hemorrhage. The combination of oral anticoagulation with antiplatelet inhibitor in long-term anticoagulated patients requiring stent placement has been studied in several recent trials (e.g. WOEST, PIONEER AF PCI, REDUAL PCI and AUGUSTUS). The results of these studies have formed the basis of the European recommendations of 2017 and 2020, whereby the therapeutic strategy depends on the risk of hemorrhage or ischemia. However, the hemorrhagic risk assessment factors included in the scores overlap with those for ischemic risk. It is therefore difficult to determine the predominant risk for each patient. Thus, uncertainties persist as to the optimal duration of a triple therapy and the optimal recommended dose. In this study, the investigators aim to establish an inventory of the current practices by evaluating the incidence of hemorrhagic and ischemic events in post-angioplasty in anticoagulated coronary patients in the context of atrial fibrillation.
The purpose of the study is to examine the efficacy and safety of prolonged thromboprophylactic treatment with Fragmin® in oesophageal cancer patients undergoing intended curative surgery.
This is a prospective chart study that will aim to assess objective data on compliance levels to low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) injections among pregnant and postnatal women undergoing VTE thromboprophylaxis treatment at Cork University Maternity Hospital. This is a study that will help shine light on accurate data for compliance and possible factors affecting it, which will be useful for more individualised treatment plans for future patients. Patients at higher risk of Venous thromboembolism undergoing VTE thromboprophylaxis will be invited to participate in the study. Once the patient reads the information leaflet and signs consent, data will then be collected from the patients medical record. The patient will be given a smart sharps bin with an individual, unique product code. This device will be provided by HealthBeacon, a Dublin based start-up company. The device will be personalised with the treatment schedule pre-loaded onto it. When a used LMWH injection is disposed into the smart sharps bin, an infrared sensor is activated. The system captures an image of the injection in the chamber before moving it to the normal 'sharps' container of the bin for disposal. The captured image is time-stamped and sent to HealthBeacon's electronic database. HealthBeacon will only have the data pertaining to the disposal of injections for each sharps bin (i.e. the timing of the disposal of each used injection in each pre-coded bin). We are blinded to the compliance information and will only will receive the raw Data once treatment is completed. Data will be analysed to determine compliance of LMWH injections. This study will enable us to have a better insight on accurate compliance rates for LMWH injections in pregnant women at higher risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Understanding compliance with LMWH injections and the factors which can affect it, will hopefully guide future information and education that we offer to patients who are prescribed LMWH injections and help decrease maternal mortality rates in future.
This study evaluates the risks and experience of blood clots and bleeding in patients with blood cancers. While it is standard of care to use medications to reduce the risk of blood clots in hospitalized individuals, some patients with blood cancers have low platelet counts that can increase the concern for bleeding complications associated with these medications. At this time, the optimal management strategies for blood clots are not well known for patients with blood cancers. This pilot study evaluates additional information that could help doctors know which patients are at highest risk for blood clots.

Research Question: In adult SCD patients with CVC, is it feasible and safe to conduct an adequately powered RCT to evaluate the use of rivaroxaban as thromboprophylaxis in this population? Study Design: The study is a vanguard pilot double blind multi-centre randomized controlled trial. Participants with SCD and CVC will be randomized to either rivaroxaban 10mg PO daily or placebo for the duration of CVC in situ or for up to one year, whichever is less. After screening (day -7 to day -1), patients will be followed at day 1, months 3 (+/- 15 days), 6 (+/- 15 days), 9 (+/- 15 days), and 12 (+/- 15 days). Study Objectives: The primary objective is to estimate the proportion of eligible patients who will enroll into a trial of thromboprophylaxis. Secondary objectives include (a) document indications for central venous catheter (CVC), (b) summarize duration of CVC insertion prior to enrollment, (c) estimate adherence to the study drug, (d) estimate proportions of participants being compliant with study procedures, and lost to follow up. Exploratory objectives will assess thrombotic, bleeding, and quality of life outcomes.
This research is based on clinic treatment of intravenous thrombolysis for patients with acute ischemic stroke.By building up a database of these patients, the investigators aim to find some significance between groups by analyzing population information, clinical status and such for better evaluation and optimal treatment decision.
The investigators' primary objective is to assess whether a difference in the occurrence of bleeding events exist between patients with LVT treated with DOACs as compared to those treated with VKAs.
The NoCVT study will investigate CVT (2014-2023) in a large Norwegian population (> 3 millions) using several approaches combining existing health registries, clinical databases and new prospectively collected clinical data to explore epidemiology, risk factors, diagnostics, treatment, and the long-term prognosis of CVT.
The purpose of this study is to understand how the drug rivaroxaban improves symptoms associated with peripheral artery disease.
