Central Venous Catheter ThrombosisCentral Venous Catheter Related Bloodstream Infection6 more

Insertion of a central venous access device (CVAD) allows clinicians to easily access the circulation of a patient to administer life-saving interventions. Due to their invasive nature, CVADss are prone to complications such as infection, bacterial biofilm production, and catheter occlusion due to a thrombus. A CVAD is placed in up to 97% of patients in the intensive care unit, exposing this vulnerable population to risk of nosocomial infection and occlusion. Current standard of care involves use of normal saline (for CVCs and PICCs) or citrate (for hemodialysis catheters) as a catheter locking solution. CVAD complications remain a problem with current standard of care. 4% tetrasodium Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) fluid (KiteLock Sterile Locking Solution) possesses antimicrobial, anti-biofilm, and anti-thrombotic properties and is approved by Health Canada as a catheter locking solution. As such, it may be superior CVC locking solution than the present normal saline or citrate lock. To our knowledge, the efficacy of an EDTA catheter locking solution has not yet been investigated in the intensive care patient population. Our team proposes to fill this knowledge gap by performing a multi-centre, cluster-randomized, crossover study evaluating the impact of KiteLock Sterile Locking Solution on a primary composite outcome of CLABSI, intraluminal occlusion, and alteplase use in the ICU of six ICU's compared to the standard of care saline lock.

Pre-operative Enoxaparin in the Surgical Management of Multi-trauma Patients Undergoing Orthopedic...

Venous Thrombosis Deep (Limbs)Surgical Blood Loss

All trauma patients receive Lovenox or other prophylactic medication to prevent deep vein clots from forming. For the trauma patients with orthopedic injuries requiring surgery there is controversy over safety and efficacy when prophylaxis is started preoperatively vs postoperatively. This study is to evaluate both approaches for safety in terms of bleeding events during and 24 hours after surgery as well as preventing deep vein clot formation. This will be a randomized double blinded study using Lovenox or placebo as the medications given preoperatively. Postoperative Lovenox will be given to both groups per routine regime.

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Imaging of Thrombosis

Atrial FibrillationCOVID-192 more

The purpose of the study is to evaluate a new radiotracer called 64Cu-FBP8 for PET-MR imaging of thrombosis. The tracer has the potential of detecting thrombosis anywhere in the body, for instance in the left atrial appendage of patients with atrial fibrillation, and thereby may provide a non-invasive alternative to the current standard-of-care methods.

Postoperative Thrombosis Prevention in Patients With CD

Cushing DiseaseDVT1 more

Patients with Cushing disease was randomized to 2 groups. After surgery, the patients were managed with mechanical prevention or mechanical prevention plus anticoagulant drugs(LMWH followed by rivaroxaban), VTE was observed 24h, 5day, 4weeks and 12weeks after surgery.Bleeding events were also recorded.

Mechanisms of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and Vein Wall Fibrosis

Post-thrombotic SyndromeDeep Vein Thrombosis Leg

The goal of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability or efficacy of adjunctive treatments (including rosuvastatin 20 mg daily) in combination with standard anticoagulation therapy (Factor Xa inhibitors) in patients with lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The efficacy of adjunctive treatments to prevent the development of post thrombotic syndrome (PTS) after DVT will be evaluated.

Screening for Occult Malignancy in Patients With Unprovoked Venous Thromboembolism

Embolism and Thrombosis

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) can be the earliest sign of cancer. Identifying occult cancers at the time of VTE diagnosis may lead to significant improvement of patients' care. This is also an upmost issue for patients who want to know if an underlying cancer might have triggered the VTE. An individual patient-level data meta-analysis (IPDMA) supports extensive screening strategies for occult cancer especially based on FDG PET/CT, and suggests that the best target population for cancer screening would be patients with unprovoked VTE older than 50 years of age (6.7% in patients aged 50 years or more vs. 1.0% in patients of less than 50 years (OR: 7.1, 95% CI: 3.1 to 16%).

Leiden Trial In Prevention of Post-Operative ThromboEmbolic Events

Deep-Venous Thrombosis

In neurosurgical patients, the risk for venous thromboembolic events (VTE) is high due to the relatively long duration of surgery, the high occurrence of prolonged immobilization of patients due to paresis of the legs or intracranial pathology causing inability to mobilise2. Moreover, intracranial and intraspinal tumours and subarachnoid haemorrhage cause hypercoagulability, which increases the risk on VTE. There is a high degree of diversity in attributed risk on thrombosis in the neurosurgical patient cohort. Due to this diversity, insufficient power of performed studies and lack of careful phenotyping and description of risk factors in previous studies on deep venous thrombosis (DVT) prophylaxis, as yet the optimal DVT prophylaxis in neurosurgery remains unclear. A prospective randomized study with adequate power and detailed information on patient related factors (malignancy, subarachnoid haemorrhage, prevailing coagulopathies), type of surgery, duration of surgery, and postoperative immobilisation will allow us to identify the optimal treatment strategy for high risk neurosurgical patients. In the current study all patients that fulfil the inclusion criteria will be subjected to post-operative systematic evaluation of VTE by echo-duplex investigation.

Leiden Thrombosis Recurrence Risk Prevention

Venous ThromboembolismVenous Thromboses2 more

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate tailored duration of long-term anticoagulant treatment after a first venous thromboembolism based on individualized risk assessments of recurrent VTE and major bleeding risks. Participants will be asked to fill in a questionnaire and take a buccal swab, which are used for an individual estimation of the risks of recurrent VTE and bleeding. Based on these risks a treatment advise will be made, or randomised in a subgroup of patients.
