Filter by:The risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in DM1 and in other inherited myopathies, which can lead to chronic immobilization, are unknown. The purpose of this study is to evaluate incidence of VTE in cohort of patients presenting with DM1 with a comparison to a group of other inheritable myopathies and to a community-based population.
Cancer is the most important acquired risk factor of thromboembolisms. More than 20% of all episodes of venous thromboembolism (VT) or pulmonary thromboembolisms (PT) are cancer related. Cancer patients with VT or PT are treated with low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) during at least 3 months, but nowadays the duration of treatment is not accurately determined. The D-Dimer determination has been used like recurrence predictors after LMWH treatment suspension, but in cancer patients the useful is limited. Phospholipid-dependent microparticles could been used like recurrence predictors in cancer patients and tailored the duration of LMWH treatment for each patient.
The investigators aim to investigate whether a computer-based alert system in the electronic patient chart and order entry system using the Geneva Risk Score as clinical decision support tool to estimate the risk of venous thromboembolism improves the rate of appropriate thromboprophylaxis among hospitalized medical patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence of post-operative venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients undergoing major esophageal resection for malignancy.
The purpose of this study is to validate the Ottawa score (risk of thromboembolic recurrences) in cancer patients with thromboembolic disease treated with tinzaparin (Innohep®)
In a population of patients with venous thromboembolism and treated with oral anticoagulants (OAC) in routine clinical practice in Denmark this study will describe patients treated with each OAC
This study aims to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of apixaban when co-administered with cyclosporine and tacrolimus in healthy volunteers. The study participants will receive apixaban alone, cyclosporine followed by apixaban and tacrolimus followed by apixaban.
The risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) is very high in trauma patients, secondary to tissue injury, venous status from immobilization, and thrombophilia. As such, early initiation of VTE prophylaxis is essential in this population. The competing risks of life threatening hemorrhage and VTE need to be considered very carefully. Potential approaches to VTE prophylaxis include pharmacologic means, and mechanical devices. For patients unable to receive pharmacologic VTE prophylaxis, retrievable inferior vena cava filters (rIVCFs) may be placed until low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) can be initiated, as per guidelines such as Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma The investigators propose a feasibility study to determine whether or not our center can insert rIVCFs in at-risk trauma patients expeditiously enough to cause a meaningful reduction in the time they are left unprotected to PE.
Rivaroxaban or placebo for extended antithrombotic prophylaxis after laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer: a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study.
Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a frequent and burdensome complication of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT). In the absence of curative treatment of established PTS, its management is based on the prevention of its occurrence thanks to anticoagulants and compression stockings. So far, predictors of disabling PTS are unknown precluding from optimally selecting patients for invasive (early thrombus removal) or innovative/expensive treatments. In addition, little is known on the incidence of PTS in the very long-term. Objectives: To assess, 12 years after a symptomatic venous thromboembolic (VTE) event, Primary objective: incidence and severity of PTS after a lower limb DVT. Main Secondary objectives: 1. Incidence and severity of PTS according to VTE initial presentation (isolated distal DVT, isolated proximal DVT, PE + DVT). 2. Incidence and risk factors of disabling PTS Methods: Very long-term follow-up (12 years) of patients recruited in the large, multicentre, prospective, observational OPTIMEV study for a suspicion of VTE confirmed or ruled out with objective tests (Clinical Trials NCT00670540). All patients with a DVT, an isolated PE and a random selection of controls (VTE - patients without any history of VTE after the 3 years of follow-up) will first benefit from a phone-PTS assessment. Those patients presenting at least a mild venous insufficiency and a selection of controls will undergo a clinical follow-up visit with clinical and Compleat Ultra Sound (CUS) assessment of PTS/venous insufficiency and an assessment of quality of life. Perspectives: Improving our knowledge of PTS' incidence and predictors and of the impact of usual treatment. Better selecting patients eligible for invasive/innovative/expensive preventative procedures.
