Filter by:The SAVER pilot is a randomized, open-label pilot study to determine the feasibility of recruitment. In addition to feasibility data, the investigators will carefully collect clinical data to determine if rosuvastatin can reduce post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) in venous thromboembolism (VTE) patients. Eligible consenting patients who developed acute, symptomatic, and objectively confirmed proximal leg deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and/or PE will be randomized and equally allocated to 2 trial arms, either the treatment group (rosuvastatin tablet (20 mg/day) or the control group (usual care). The pilot trial consists of up to 4 study contacts over 6 months: screening, randomization, telephone follow-up (90 days), and final study visit (180 days).
Objectives of the study are: To estimate the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in a cohort of women with suspected ovarian cancer and evaluate changes in the coagulation system in case of benign or malignant disease. The impact of changes in the coagulation system on disease prognosis will be evaluated.
Hospitalized trauma patients frequently suffer from blood clots in the legs or lungs. To minimize the risk of these blood clots developing, patients may be given a blood-thinner drug such as enoxaparin. Until now, a set dose of enoxaparin has been given to a patient, regardless of his or her weight. However, a recent study suggests that for obese patients, the set dose may be inadequate. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether or not a dose of enoxaparin that is based on the patient's weight will help to prevent the formation of blood clots. The information gathered through this study will help doctors to understand the best way to prevent blood clots in future trauma patients. The potential risks of participating in this study include the minor risks of blood draws and ultrasounds, as well as the more significant risks of bleeding as a side effect of the enoxaparin.
This study is to define the optimal method of prophylaxis for patients with gastrectomy in Korea and the investigators hypothesized only mechanical method would be enough for preventing VTE on perioperative period.
The aim of this study is to verify, through clinical examination and doppler, the non-inferiority of the drug test (heparin sodium 5.000UI/0.25 mL - HIPOLABOR) in relation to the drug compared (heparin sodium 5.000USP/mL - APP) in preventing the development of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients undergoing surgery for medium risk for the development of this pathology.
This is a prospective study with the following objectives: Primary Objective: 1. To estimate the prevalence of unsuspected VTE in oncology patients on routine staging CT scans of the thorax, abdomen and pelvis. Secondary Objectives: 2. To identify symptoms commonly associated with VTE that are present in cancer patients undergoing routine staging CT scans with findings of unsuspected VTE. 3. To identify the risk factors and demographic characteristics in outpatient cancer patients associated with the development of unsuspected VTE. 4. To determine the incidence of recurrence of new VTE in patients with unsuspected VTE at 3 and 6 months of follow-up.
The purpose of this study is to develop a way to predict which patients diagnosed with idiopathic blood clots can safely stop warfarin therapy after six months. We will use patient characteristics, blood test results and imaging test results to identify those patients who have the lowest risk of developing a new blood clot after warfarin is stopped.
To determine whether aspirin is more effective than placebo for the prevention of recurrent symptomatic venous thromboembolism when given for at least two years after the initial 6-12 month of oral anticoagulant therapy in patients with idiopathic venous thromboembolism
