Filter by:This study aims to explore the feasibility of a novel, patient-specific algorithm for adjusting warfarin doses during chronic anticoagulation therapy. Specifically investigators are interested in determining whether patients can use this algorithm to assume responsibility for managing their own warfarin therapy including making independent decisions about their warfarin dose and when to retest their next international normalized ratio (INR) test based on the result of their current INR result obtained using a point-of-care INR monitor.
Prevention and Prophylaxis (Thromboprophylaxis - ACT) of Cancer Associated Thrombosis (CAT) in High Risk Oncology Patients: ACT4CAT.
This study aim to compare the cost-effectiveness and safety between centrally and peripherally inserted central venous catheters in neurosurgical intensive care unit patients.
Since not every portal vein thrombus (PVT) in a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a tumor thrombus, since the nature of the thrombus will ultimately determine the course of treatment, and since PVT may be even the initial sign of an undetected HCC, every effort should be made to distinguish between a tumor and a non-tumor PVT. In addition, malignant PVT does not always demonstrate neovascularity and/or enhancement, which makes fine needle aspiration (FNA) necessary in order to characterize the nature of the PVT. Sampling of portal vein thrombus with trans-abdominal ultrasound guidance may lead to erroneous results because of inadvertent inclusion of normal hepatocytes or associated liver masses. Further, potential adverse events of trans-abdominal portal vein sampling include serious biliary and/or vascular injury. In contrast to the percutaneous approach, Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) provides a unique view and access to the main portal vein. From the duodenal bulb and second part of the duodenum, the portal vein can be visualized from the confluence of the splenic and superior mesenteric veins into the porta hepatis. Periportal collateral vessels or cavernous transformation of the portal vein, which commonly are associated with portal vein thrombosis, are also easily and reliably detected by EUS instruments with color Doppler US capability. With a linear-array echo-endoscope, the portal vein can be punctured easily with a fine needle under direct visualization, while avoiding the adjacent hepatic artery, bile duct, and collateral vessels (if present). Because the approach is not trans-hepatic, it eliminates any need to avoid the primary tumor and any possibility of contaminating the specimen with hepatocytes, as can occur if the needle tracks through the liver parenchyma. Thus, the rate of false-positive diagnoses is likely to be lower with the EUS compared with the percutaneous approach
The goal of this initial proof of principle single arm cohort trial is to determine if contemporary endovascular venous intervention, compared with a 1:1 propensity-matched medical therapy arm of the ATTRACT trial, significantly reduces the 2-year occurrence of Post Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS) in subjects with symptomatic proximal Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).
The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal duration of anticoagulation therapy (3 months versus 12 months) with direct oral anticoagulant (edoxaban) for isolated distal deep vein thrombosis.
Study objective is to determine whether there is an association between genetic variant risk scores and clinical outcomes (percent time in therapeutic range, time to reach therapeutic international normalized ratio (INR), INR ≥ 4, bleeding event, ischemic stroke, death) in participants taking warfarin for atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and/or intracardiac thrombosis.
The objective of the "anticoagchoice" study is to analyze the preferences of people suffering from phlebitis, in terms of anticoagulant, to improve adherence to these treatments, to adapt the medical prescriptions.
Ongoing registration of patients with venous thromboembolism treated by means of antithrombotic therapy, thrombolisys, open surgery, endovenous desobstruction and stenting.
Patients undergoing electrophysiology studies (EPS) and cardiac ablation procedure for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias may be at increased risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) during or after the procedure, which may lead to pulmonary embolus which can be life threatening. The study will use Doppler ultrasound scanning at 24h and between 10-14 days post EPS and cardiac ablation to assess the incidence of undiagnosed DVT. A positive finding may provide support for a larger clinical trial to assess the benefit of prophylactic anticoagulation post EPS procedure.
