Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to find out the clinical and cost effectiveness of Thromboprophylaxis in participants who have been placed in a plaster cast or splint after injury. The main questions it aims to answer are: - whether giving tablets to people at high risks of clots after a leg injury is as good as injections (standard care) - whether giving any medication after a leg injury is better than standard care (advice only) for people at low risk of clots. Participants will be assessed to be high risk (TiLLI High) or low risk (TiLLI Low). People who are at high risk of clots will have either tablets or injections to reduce their risk. People at low risk will receive tablets, injections or no medication. Drug treatments will be provided for the duration of immobilisation or up to 42 days (whichever is earlier), in accordance with current NICE guidelines. The participants will be followed up for 90 days following randomisation.
Insertion of intravenous catheter is a very common operation in patients in the general intensive care unit. These catheters are used for a variety of purposes - administration of inotropics/pressors, intravenous nutrition, concentrated electrolytes and performing dialysis.There are several known complications of central venous catheter insertion, such as thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. In a literature review, there are no clear data regarding the rate of intravenous thrombosis in patients after removal of a central venous catheter. These findings are often discovered randomly, when the patient undergoes imaging for a different indication. There is no recommendation for an active search for intravenous thrombi at the catheter insertion sites in these patients, and it is not entirely clear whether it is mandatory to administer anticoagulant treatment in these patients if thrombi are randomly discovered at the catheter insertion sites. In this study, we aim to check the proportion of patients who developed thrombosis at the central catheter insertion sites after its removal, to check whether there are catheter insertion sites that are at a higher risk of developing thrombosis than other sites, and to check whether there are predictive characteristics for the development of this type of thrombosis.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rheolytic thrombectomy in restoring venous patency DVT, periprocedural complications and development of PTS after tratment of iliofemoral DVT.
Unfractionated heparin (UFH) is the most widely used intravenous (IV) anticoagulant for treating and preventing thromboembolic disease (e.g., blood clots ). UFH must be closely monitored and adjusted in the hospital. There are two assays used to monitor UFH: 1) the activated partial thromboplastin time (PTT) and 2) the chromogenic anti-factor Xa assay (anti-Xa). This study aims to compare PTT and anti-Xa methods for monitoring UFH in a pragmatic, randomized controlled trial to determine which helps patients reach a therapeutic anticoagulation range faster.
In high thrombus burden subgroup of Acute STEMI, manual aspiration thrombectomy was associated with reduced cardiovascular death but increased stroke or transient ischemic attack. The role of aspiration thrombectomy is still a matter of active debate. Manual aspiration suffers from decreasing aspiration force as the syringe fills with fluid and requires the operator to exchange syringes during the procedure to maintain suction.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of nadroparin versus transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt in cirrhotic patients with refractory asymptomatic portal vein thrombosis using a design of a multicenter, randomized controlled trial
A single site study evaluating the safety, feasibility, and effectiveness of percutaneous large-bore mechanical thrombectomy using the Inari Triever Aspiration Catheter for the treatment of portomesenteric vein thrombosis (PMVT).
In recent years, with the development of medical technology and materials and instruments, flow diverter (FD) has gradually become the most important treatment method for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms (IA). It is a revolutionary treatment method, which has changed the concept of endovascular treatment of IA, and turned the previous endovascular embolization to the reconstruction of the parent artery. At present, FD has been used in more than 250,000 cases worldwide, and the overall 1-year complete occlusion rate of aneurysms can reach 75%-85.5%. However, although the current imaging prognosis of FD is encouraging, the perioperative complications of FD are as high as 12.9%, including ischemic complications, SAH, and parenchymal hemorrhage in 7.3%, 2.0%, and 2.0%, respectively. The postoperative mortality was 1.5%, of which 1.3% were caused by delayed aneurysm rupture, distal parenchymal hemorrhage and PED-related nerve compression symptoms. In addition, an in-stent stenosis of more than 50% within one year has been reported in 10.2 to 15.0% of patients. However, in addition to conventional dual antibody therapy, there is no relevant guideline recommendation or clinical evidence on how to prevent complications after FD implantation in IA patients. Atorvastatin is widely used in the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Its main effect is to improve the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events by reducing blood lipids. Although the mechanism of clinical benefit of lipid-lowering by atorvastatin is not completely clear, a large number of clinical evidence has shown that atorvastatin can also reverse atherosclerosis, stabilize plate, reduce inflammation, reverse vascular endothelial dysfunction and reduce microthrombosis. It can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in patients with coronary heart disease and internal carotid artery stenosis after stent implantation in different degrees. However, there is no high-quality clinical evidence for the use of atorvastatin in intracranial aneurysm stent implantation. Previous retrospective studies have shown that atorvastatin is the only protective factor for in-stent restenosis after flow diverter implantation in intracranial aneurysms. In a retrospective observational study involving 273 patients empirically treated with atorvastatin for unruptured IA in our center, the median follow-up period was 7.6 months. The incidence of cerebrovascular events was 3.27%, and the incidence of more than 50% in-stent stenosis was 8.4%, which was significantly lower than the incidence of related events reported at home and abroad. Therefore, this study planned to conduct a randomized controlled clinical trial to confirm the efficacy and safety of oral atorvastatin in the prevention of cerebrovascular adverse events after stent implantation in patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms, and to provide objective evidence for the treatment decision of patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms to prevent cerebrovascular adverse events after flow diverter implantation.
This is a physician-initiated, observational, monocentric, retrospective and prospective Study. The study is intended to assess the feasibility of mechanical thrombectomy of caval and iliofemoral veins according to normal clinical practice in adult patients with symptomatic acute or subacute ileofemoral or caval deep vein thrombosis objectively diagnosed with CT scan imaging.
Cancer patients are burdened by an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), which has a significant impact on morbidity and mortality. Existing Risk Prediction Models (RPMs), including the widely accepted Khorana Risk Score (KRS), have some limitations when used in certain tumor site populations, such as gynecological cancers. Notably, gynecological patients exhibit a variable risk of VTE based on their specific tumor sites, with ovarian cancer representing the highest risk. Moreover, currently available RPMs lack validation in a broad gynecological population and may fail to effectively stratify VTE risk. GynCAT is a prospective cohort study that will be conducted on female patients with gynecologic malignancies scheduled for systemic antineoplastic treatment. During the screening phase, symptomatic VTE will be excluded, and KRS will be assessed. Pharmacological thromboprophylaxis will be considered and prescribed at clinical judgement, for patients with a KRS score of 3 or higher. Clinical, hematological, biochemical, coagulation, and genetic variables will be collected. Follow-up will last for the entire duration of the antineoplastic treatment line, and VTE events, bleeding events, and mortality will be recorded. The primary objective is the development and validation of an RPM for VTE in gynecologic cancer patients undergoing systemic antineoplastic treatment. Secondary objectives are evaluation of the predictive value of the identified model, comparing it with existing general oncology RPMs; assessment of its performance in predicting mortality; evaluation of VTE incidence in patients with KRSā„3 receiving thromboprophylaxis; identification of risk factors for bleeding in this patient population. The sample size calculation is based on an estimated VTE incidence of 5% over a mean follow-up of 12 months. Hence, a sample size of at least 1,200 patients in the derivation cohort is considered sufficient for the determination of a risk prediction model incorporating up to six predictor variables. A split-sample method will be used, with two-thirds of the study participants randomly assigned to the model derivation cohort (n=1,200) and one-third (n=600) to an independent validation cohort. The total number of patients recruited in the study will thus be of 1,800. A competing risk survival analysis with Fine & Gray model will be used to study the association between prognostic variables and VTE occurrence, considering death as a competitive risk. The RPM will be identified through a bootstrap approach to reduce the risk of overfitting. Discrimination power of the RPM will be assessed using time-dependent Receiving Operating Characteristic curve, and model calibration will be evaluated graphically and with the calculation of relative calibration slopes. In conclusion, this prospective cohort study aims to overcome the limitations of current RPMs in gynecologic cancer patients, improving the accuracy of VTE risk stratification in this population.
