Active clinical trials for "Embolism"

This non-interventional field study will investigate rivaroxaban under clinical practice conditions for stroke prevention and for prevention of non-CNS systemic embolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation in China.

Systemic air embolism is traditionally considered as an extremely rare complication of percutaneous lung biopsy. Current literature includes mainly case reports or small case series of SAE. Majority of cases resulted in cardiac and/or neurological symptoms, often causing death. In most reported cases, the diagnosis of systemic air embolism referred to clinical manifestations without radiological diagnosis at the time of the procedure. Hence, its incidence might be underestimated in case of asymptomatic patients. Immediate recognition of air embolism during the procedure has been reported as the main factor to minimize severe complications since specific management of patient can be initiated earlier. The purpose of this study is to retrospectively assess the incidence of systemic air embolism depicted at the time of the procedure on a whole thoracic CT, systematically performed after transthoracic lung biopsy in a large cohort of consecutive patients. Secondary objectives are to determine possible influencing factors and to evaluate clinical outcomes.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the APIXABAN use in the Prevention of Stroke and Systemic Embolism in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation in Real-Life Setting in France, data from SNIIRAM (French data base).

The overall goal of this clinical research study is to prospectively assess primary outcomes related to pulmonary embolism (PE) that occur immediately (within 5 days) and within 30 days. The secondary goal is to compare validated prediction models and a modified European Society of Cardiology (ESC) approach that is primarily right ventricle dysfunction (RVD) driven with clinical risk assessment being secondary, and with primary outcomes of clinical deterioration within 5 days.

describe the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of patients diagnosed with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) at risk of stroke or systemic embolism on anticoagulant therapy who have changed their therapeutic regimen, due to any clinical situation, based on the doctor's routine clinical practice and are currently on treatment with a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC)

The primary objective of this study is to search for, in vitro, elements associated with IgG-dependent monocyte activation (signaling pathway activation, expression of pro-coagulant and pro-inflammatory factors) and to describe their prevalence in female patients with a history of proximal venous thromboembolism (proximal deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism) compared to control women.

The Registry involves the collection of information for research and educational purposes only on the use of AngioJet in the peripheral vascular system.

The objectives of the PROTECT study are: To assess the role of CT pulmonary angiography in the risk stratification of hemodynamically stable patients with acute symptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE). To assess the role of transthoracic echocardiography in the risk stratification of hemodynamically stable patients with acute symptomatic PE. To assess the role of 2 biomarkers (troponin and brain natriuretic peptide) in the risk stratification of hemodynamically stable patients with acute symptomatic PE. To assess the role of the Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (PESI) in the risk stratification of hemodynamically stable patients with acute symptomatic PE. To assess the combined role of CT pulmonary angiography, transthoracic echocardiography, PESI, troponin I and brain natriuretic peptide in the risk stratification of hemodynamically stable patients with acute symptomatic PE.

The purpose of this monocentric, preliminary study is to assess the evolution of pulmonary capillary blood volume (Vc), measured by the double diffusion nitric oxide/carbon monoxide (NO/CO) method (Guenard et al.; Respir Physiol 1987), from the starting of the anticoagulant therapy to 6 months after, and to search correlations with the evolution of clinical (dyspnea and results of the 6 minutes walking test), biological (BNP; Troponin), echocardiographic (right ventricular dysfunction, pulmonary arterial pressure) and ventilation/perfusion lung scan data.

To identify the incidence cohort of Olmsted County Minnesota residents with deep venous thrombosis (DVT)/pulmonary embolism (PE) from 1966 through 1990. Episodes of DVT or PE acquired during hospitalization or in the community were identified for future studies.
