Filter by:The purpose of this study is to identify risk factors of cancer-associated venous thrombosis and develop a prediction model to assist clinicians in tailoring anticoagulant therapy.
This is a multicentric, prospective, observational study with two cohorts and adjunctive procedure. It aims at collecting and analyzing data about the function of an innovative hospital-territory integration health service for the management of patients with intermediate urgency, or emergency department "white codes." This service, activated in the participating centers, will be provided in two alternative modalities, one so-called "dual specialty" (cardiology and diabetes specialist outpatient clinic) and a second one more focused on the figure of the specialist in Internal Medicine. The investigators will monitor the population treated in these centers (presenting complaint, medical history, clinical-radiological data, performed therapies and overall health path) and the degree of satisfaction of the General Practitioners who sent their patients there and the degree of satisfaction of the patients themselves. The data collected will also be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the outpatient clinics in terms of reducing improper admissions to the Emergency Departments and hospitalizations. The two modes of service delivery will be compared. This is an 18-month study, sponsored by our Scientific Directorate and carried out on a nonprofit basis. The study will enroll 246 patients and 30 healthy volunteer General Practitioners. The clinical trial will be conducted in accordance with Good Clinical Practice standards.
Thrombo-embolic venous diseases are represented by deep venous thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism. In some patients with repeated thrombosis or occurrence of thrombosis in unusual sites, the etiological workup remains negative, which represents a problem for the management of the anticoagulant treatments. Recently, two factors have been identified as important in the physiopathology of hemostasis and coagulation: the presence of clonal hematopoiesis of indetermined potential (CHIP) and the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). In this study, these two factors will be studied in patients with repeated venous thrombosis or thrombosis occurring in unusual site.
As the occurrence of thrombosis in post surgery is rare, it seemed difficult to study only this one. This is why we decided to test the bioimpedance, temperature and green, red and infrared light absorption measurements of the prototype during the weaning of the flap during surgery. Indeed, during weaning the investigators voluntarily interrupt the arterial and venous flow to transfer the flap to the breast. This weaning corresponds to a thrombosis model. The patients will benefit from an "improved" postoperative monitoring. Indeed, in addition to the classical clinical monitoring, they will benefit from an additional monitoring during 5 days thanks to the realization of an ultrasound of the flap which will be carried out every 6 hours the first 24 hours then every 12 hours. This protocol is therefore a feasibility study for the collection of data of interest.
This study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial of an interventional strategy using the ClotTriever System to achieve and maintain vessel patency (ClotTriever Intervention Arm) versus conservative medical management using anticoagulation therapy alone (Conservative Medical Management Arm) in the treatment of subjects with symptomatic unilateral iliofemoral DVT. The study will collect data on demographics, comorbidities, details from the DVT diagnosis and treatment, and clinical outcomes through the 6-month follow up visit.
A new Clinical Score (CS) to rule out Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) has to be derived and internally validated (with bootstrap method), from patients suspected of DVT in Italy. Primary care physicians (general practitioners) in Lombardy will be instructed to inform patients suspected of DVT about this research and get in touch with the team to get details and, eventually, volunteer for the study. The CS includes categorical variables and a continuous variable: the differential leg skin temperature measured with a low-cost handheld infrared thermometer in object surface mode.
Objective: To study the efficacy and safety of apixaban as stroke prophylaxis in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 5 and atrial fibrillation (AF) with or without dialysis treatment. The study hypothesis is that compared to no anticoagulation, apixaban reduces the incidence of ischemic stroke without causing an unacceptable increase in fatal or intracranial bleeding events. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular events, and major bleeding in people with CKD stage 5 and AF treated with apixaban compared to standard of care without anticoagulation. Trial design: Pragmatic Prospective Open Label Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial, phase 3b over 12-72 months. Trial population: 1000-1400 patients at ≈50 sites in Sweden, Finland, Norway, Iceland and Poland Eligibility criteria: Adults ≥18 years with CKD stage 5 (ongoing treatment with any chronic dialysis treatment OR an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)* <20 ml/min/1.73 m2 at least twice 3 months apart of which at least one occasion is <15 ml/min/1.73 m2 due to CKD during the last 12 months) and a diagnosis of chronic, paroxysmal, persistent, or permanent AF or atrial flutter (AFL) with CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥2 for men or ≥3 or more for women as an indication for oral anticoagulation. The exclusion criteria are AF or AFL due to reversible causes, rheumatic mitral stenosis or moderate-to-severe non-rheumatic mitral stenosis at the time of inclusion into the study, a condition other than AF or AFL that requires chronic anticoagulation, contraindications for anticoagulation, active bleeding or serious bleeding within 3 months, planned for surgery within 3 months, and current use of strong inhibitors of both CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein. Interventions: Randomization 1:1 to treatment with apixaban 2.5 mg twice daily and standard of care, or standard of care and no anticoagulation. Outcome measures: primary efficacy (time to first ischemic stroke); primary safety (the composite of time to first intracranial bleeding or fatal bleeding); secondary efficacy (time to all-cause mortality, time to cardiovascular event or cardiovascular death); secondary safety (time to first major bleeding according to International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis (ISTH) criteria)
Chronic obstruction of the iliac veins or inferior vena cava can occur as a result of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or due to extrinsic compression in non-thrombotic iliac vein lesions (NIVLs). This obstruction can manifest as post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) after DVT or as chronic venous disease (CVD) in NIVL. Despite sparse evidence, rates of venous stenting for PTS and NIVLs are increasing. A pragmatic, observer-blind, multi-centre, randomised-controlled trial for adults with CVD secondary to either PTS or NIVLs randomised to either best endovenous therapy (including venoplasty and deep venous stenting) or standard therapy (compression +/- anticoagulation). Included participants will have chronic venous disease (CEAP classification 3 - 6) secondary to proximal deep venous disease. The primary outcome is severity of venous disease at 6 months as ascertained by the Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS).
This primary care study aims to compare the "time in therapeutic range" (TTR) of two strategies for monitoring the international normalized ratio (INR) over 6 months in nursing homes. The population consists of frail elderly patients for whom Anti-Vitamin K treatments are frequent, and who are consequently more prone to embolic and hemorrhagic complications.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of general practitioners for the diagnosis of proximal deep vein thrombosis of the lower limbs compared with whole-leg ultrasound with Doppler performed by the vascular physician.
