Filter by:INTRODUCTION Vascular complications in kidney transplantation constitute one-third of the early graft loss (EGL) that can be prevented by timely diagnosed cases. A vascular monitoring device may have a possible role in the early identification of graft hypoperfusion critical to reducing graft loss. AIM To evaluate the feasibility of an Implantable Doppler probe as a vascular monitoring device in kidney transplant patients and by obtaining the vital information, inform the protocol development of a definitive RCT. METHODS AND ANALYSIS A mixed-method research design is selected. The quantitative study will comprise a feasibility RCT (fRCT) that will compare demographical characteristics and surgical outcomes of patients that will undergo kidney transplant surgery with vascular monitoring device (intervention group, n=25) against those with standard care clinical observation (control group, n=25). Descriptive statistics will be used to summarise the results that will assess the vascular monitoring capability of implantable Doppler probe in the early postoperative period of kidney transplant patients. The results will provide estimates for surgical outcomes essential to inform the sample size calculation for the definitive study. Information related to the fluency of research methods, availability of research resources, management support, potential challenges faced during the fRCT will be compiled to generate realistic estimates of important parameters for the definitive study. The results will be following the CONSORT updated guidelines for reporting feasibility studies. Qualitative semi-structured interviews of stakeholders (n=12) recruited by purposive sampling will be conducted to explore their experiences of participating in the study, acquire suggestions regarding application of implantable Doppler probe monitoring, and the post implantation patient care. All interviews will be audio-recorded with verbatim transcription. Data will be analysed following the six-phase guide to doing thematic analysis in the NVivo software. The results will be reported in accordance with the consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research (COREQ) checklist. IMPACT It is anticipated that this study will also elaborate on a possible role of implantable Doppler probe monitoring to improve kidney transplant patient safety, graft survival, service quality improvement, and financial savings in the NHS.
Immunothrombosis has recently been used to describe the responses/mechanisms in thrombosis. Systemic inflammatory markers are prognostic markers for a variety of thrombotic conditions; however, their potential value in predicting portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is unknown. This study aimed to establish an easy-to-use nomogram based on systemic inflammatory markers to predict portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in patients with liver cirrhosis.
Venous thromboembolism affects around 10 million people per year worldwide, however, despite its high incidence, there is no systematic review or randomized trial focused on the treatment of patients with recurrent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and/or or pulmonary embolism (PE) during anticoagulant treatment. The objective was to compare the use of Rivaroxaban plus Aspirin versus Acenocoumarol in patients with recurrent venous thromboembolism treated with rivaroxaban.
The study is a single center clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of blood circulation improvement using an investigational medical device, which is a product on the market and it's name is Ceragem Master V6, for the risk group of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and the ordinary person. The study compares before and after the application by one time application.
Little is known about the current management status of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in Southwestern China. We aimed to investigate the status of anticoagulant administration in VTE in Southwestern China and assess the potential predictors of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) complicated pulmonary embolism (PE). We extracted data from YiduCloud database from December 2006 to November 2018 and performed a cross-sectional survey of VTE. The demographics, laboratory tests, and anticoagulants were collected and analyzed in the logistic regression model, classification tree and Random Forest model.
In case of acute portal vein thrombosis (PVT) prothrombotic factors are identified in about 60% of cases, while a local condition is present in 30% of cases. Prothrombotic factors may indicate a long term anticoagulant therapy whereas the risk of recurrence seems low when a local condition is isolated (cholecystitis, angiocholitis, liver abces, diverticulitis, appendicitis, acute/chronic pancreatitis, chronic bowel inflammatory disease, acute hepatitis due to cytomegalovirus, bacteroïdes pylephlebitis, abdominal neoplasia such as adenocarcinoma of the colon, abdominal traumatism or surgery such as cholecystectomy, bariatric surgery or splenectomy). To date the impact of prothrombotic factors associated with local conditions responsible for acute PVT has not been well studied except for acute or chronic pancreatitis. No significant association has been pointed out in this pathology. The aim is to determine what are the risk factors of thrombotic recurrence or extension associated with local conditions responsible for acute non cirrhotic PVT, and to evaluate the rate of secondary long term anticoagulant therapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Apixaban is effective and safe in Prevention of Portal Vein Thrombosis in Liver Cirrhotic Patients after Laparoscopic Splenectomy and Azygoportal Disconnection
The ULTREC research project is designed to assess the safety of a negative strategy relying on Colour Doppler Ultrasound (CDUS) for excluding the diagnosis of a new thrombosis. The ULTREC project does not take into account the validity of the CDUS positive criteria used to confirm the diagnosis of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) recurrence. The risk of considering only the negative strategy is to ignore the possibility of having an improvement in sensitivity and negative predictive value at the expense of specificity and positive predictive value and therefore to increase the false positive rate leading to an overdiagnosis of recurrence and an overtreatment, and a potential bleeding risk. In the ULTREC-ANCILLARY study, the research will aim at assessing the validity of baseline CDUS positive criteria for the diagnosis of DVT recurrence. As there is no diagnostic standard to which the results could be compared, it is suggested to validate these criteria based on the evolution of the thrombosis on CDUS performed at D90±5. The hypothesis is that an unchanged appearance under anticoagulation would be in favor of sequelae and will invalidate the initial diagnosis (diagnostic failure)
To see whether our increased dosing regimen of unfractionated heparin (UF) and low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in COVID-19 patients was effective at preventing thrombo-embolic complications. We did regular anti-Xa tests to optimise the dose of our thromboprophylaxis. Furthermore, we want to examine the time it takes to reach adequate anti-Xa levels, to determine additional risk factors and do a subgroup analysis. Lastly, we will study if there are possible complications of our thromboprophylactic therapy.
Data of demographic, clinical, laboratory and imaging studies of living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) recipients from two transplant centers were collected. Survival and morbidity rates between patients with and without portal vein thrombosis (PVT) were compared. Risk factors of mortality in the setting of PVT were identified. Intraoperative portal flow measurements were compared before and after portal flow restoration.
