Filter by:This prospective cohort study will provide information about: characteristics of Rivaroxaban use in patients who are prescribed Rivaroxaban for the first time compared to patients who are prescribed Phenprocoumon for the first time, the occurrence of intracranial haemorrhage, gastrointestinal and urogenital bleeding, and the occurrence of non-infective liver disease.
This study hypothesises that the geko™ device is more efficient than TEDS in preventing the formation of symptomatic/asymptomatic Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVTs), post-surgery.
The presence of portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT)in patients with HCC is one of the most significant prognostic factors for poor prognosis, without treatment, their survival is less than 3 months. In the HCC patients who combined with PVTT, RT showed 50% of local control and about 10 months survival duration. Despite the standard treatment of the HCC combined with PVTT is sorafenib, but Korean Liver Cancer Study Group (KLCSG) recommend RT as an option in those patients. Investigators previously reported the retrospective study that the scheduled interval TACE followed by RT for HCC combined with PVTT and 60% of the patients showed objective response without significant elevation of complication. It is reported that hyperthermia considered as the most valuable radiosensitizer in cancer treatment, theoretically. Based on those studies, we start this prospective study to evaluate the objective response and adverse event in the combination treatment of RT and hyperthermia after Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in the unresectable HCC patients who combined with PVTT.
The proposed PIVOTAL study will examine a panel of platelet/coagulation activity markers during the perioperative period. The goal is to develop a clinically useful assessment of platelet/coagulation activity for risk stratification that may ultimately serve as a target for therapeutic intervention. This study will enroll 200 patients with peripheral artery disease undergoing vascular surgery. PIVOTAL is funded by American Heart Association and is scheduled to begin enrollment in July 2013 for approximately two years.
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a life threatening condition and a serious concern among hospitalized patients, with death occurring in approximately 6% of cases. It involves the formation of a clot where stagnant blood flow occurs, predominantly in the deep veins of the legs. Three mechanisms underlie DVT, venous stasis (slowing or stopping of the blood), hypercoagulability (increased clotting) and damage to blood vessel endothelium (damage to blood vessel wall), collectively known as Virchow's triad. Intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) have been shown to improve lower limb blood flow. However, few studies have directly compared the two methods and those that have, have used dated NMES techniques. The objective of this study is to compare the two methods in terms of blood flow, in both a young and an older population.
Abbott Vascular (AV) obtained marketing approval for the XIENCE PRIME Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (XIENCE PRIME EECSS) in China from the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) on August 10th, 2011. This prospective, observational, open-label, multi-center, single-arm, post-approval study is designed to evaluate the continued safety and effectiveness of the XIENCE PRIME EECSS in a cohort of real-world patients receiving the XIENCE PRIME EECSS during commercial use in real-world settings in China. This study has no primary outcome measure. All observations are of equal weight.

Deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) is a common but under-diagnosed medical condition that occurs when a thrombus forms in one of the large veins, usually in the lower limbs, leading to either partial or complete blocked circulation. The condition may progress to severe health complications, such as pulmonary embolism (PE), if not diagnosed and treated in a timely and effective manner. The goal of the therapy for lower-extremity DVT is to prevent the extension of thrombus and pulmonary embolism in the short term and to prevent recurrent events in the long-term. Although anticoagulant therapy decreases the risk of recurrent thrombosis, the treatment also increases the risk for major hemorrhage. This trial aims to optimize the current medical knowledge on the effectiveness and safety of two low molecular weight heparins, bemiparin and enoxaparin in the treatment of deep vein thrombosis.
Hyperhomocysteinemia is a risk for thrombosis. Thrombosis is more frequent in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) than the normal population. In this study, we investigated the thrombosis incidence, the effects of plasma homocysteine levels on thrombosis, and the correlations between folate, cobalamin, pyridoxine and homocysteine levels in MPNs, and to compare these results with the healthy controls.
This study aims to evaluate the use of rivaroxaban and its short term safety when used by patients for the new indications of prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation, treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) and prevention of recurrent DVT and PE. Any adult patient started by their care team on rivaroxaban or an alternative anticoagulant for the specified indications during the study period will be eligible to take part. A questionnaire will be completed by the care team of each patient at the start of treatment and again 12 weeks later. The care team will complete the questionnaires using information from the patient's medical notes, not by asking the patient directly. If a participant has an adverse event during the 12 week period, we may ask the patient's care team to fill out a further follow up questionnaire. No other examinations or tests will be performed. Patients will only be recruited to the study after the clinical decision to prescribe rivaroxaban or an alternative anticoagulant has been made, so that prescribing behaviour is not altered by the study. It is an observational, non-interventional study covering the whole of England and Wales.
