Active clinical trials for "Hematoma"

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating disease with high early mortality, unfavorable neurological outcomes, and high cost of care. To date, the role of DTI-guided minimally invasive hematoma evacuation in ICH is still uncertain. The investigators will conduct a multicenter randomized controlled trial, as well as a concurrent prospective observational study including all ICH patients who decline participation in the trial and will therefore receive minimally invasive hematoma evacuation or best medical therapy and consent to be followed up. All participants will be followed up at the same time using the same outcomes measures. The primary outcome will be collected by a blinded assessor.

The purpose of the study is to calculate magnitude, type of intraoperative brain shift and assess possibility of it's prediction.

Prospective, non-randomized, multi-center clinical investigation of the NEXUS™ Aortic Arch Stent Graft System (NEXUSTM) for the treatment of thoracic aortic lesions involving the aortic arch with a proximal landing zone, native or previously implanted surgical graft, in the ascending aorta and with a brachiocephalic trunk native landing zone.

EMMA-Can is an open-label randomized control trial comparing the recurrence risk in patients with chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) undergoing standard of care treatment (surgical drainage and/or medical management) with or without embolization of the middle meningeal (EMMA).

Subdural hematoma (SDH) is a common disorder that typically results from head trauma and has increased in prevalence in recent decades. Acute subdural hematomas (aSDH) are found in up to one-third of patients with severe traumatic brain injury and are associated with an unfavorable outcome in the majority of cases. Chronic subdural hematomas (cSDH) commonly occur in the elderly population which has highest risk for developing cSDH with or without minor head injuries. The combination of the aging population, higher incidence of disease in progressively older patients, and high morbidity and mortality renders SDH a growing problem within Canada with significant health-systems burden. SDH commonly recurs even after successful surgical drainage. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common medical comorbidities in patients with cSDH, especially in the elderly, with an expected doubling of its prevalence by the year 2030. Patients with AF are at recognized risk for stroke, so anticoagulation is indicated for almost all patients. Anticoagulation is held prior to SDH drainage to minimize the risk of intraoperative and early postoperative bleeding. After surgery, the risk of SDH recurrence must be balanced against the risk of thromboembolic events such as stroke when deciding the timing of resuming anticoagulation. Currently the decision on when to restart anticoagulation after SDH is made by clinicians on an individual patient basis without any high-quality evidence to guide this decision. The two most common approaches are: 1) early resumption of anticoagulation after 30 days of diagnosis or surgery; and 2) delayed resumption of anticoagulation after 90 days of diagnosis or surgery. However, which of these approaches leads to the best functional outcomes for patients is unclear. Our pilot RCT will test the feasibility of comparing these 2 approaches in a larger multicenter RCT.

The purpose of this clinical study is to compare how well two different devices for achieving hemostasis perform in patients undergoing transfemoral procedures with 6 French Access. Both devices are approved by the FDA for this use, and have already been used by clinicians on patients undergoing transfemoral procedures. It is believed that the use of both devices in combination compared to the Perclose alone will shorten the time that it takes to 'seal' the artery, resulting in a shorter period of time that patients would need to lay flat.

PacePress medical device, by ensuring constant compression force and the ability to optimize it in the pocket area prevents/significantly reduces the risk of hemorrhagic complications, including but not limited to the operation pocket hematoma. By avoiding a strong localized compression and ensuring "covering compression" achieved by the appropriate distribution of compression forces on the entire implantation site area, with an automated compression force control, the risk of a pressure sore created in the compressed pocket area is reduced.

EMMA-Can is a prospective cohort study to assess the safety and effectiveness of MMA-embolization for the treatment of CSDH. Hypothesis- EMMA reduces the recurrence rate of SDH with or without concomitant surgical evacuation.

The investigators objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of hematoma block versus intravenous regional anesthesia (Bier block) during closed reduction of distal radius fractures.

Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a very common hemorrhagic disease of the nervous system, accounting for about 10% of hemorrhagic strokes. The incidence rate of elderly people over 65 years old is 58.1/100,000, and the incidence rate is increasing year by year, and it may reach 121/100,000 by 2030. At present, the specific pathogenesis of CSDH is still unclear. Although it has been clinically confirmed that a part of CSDH can be absorbed by itself, and some drugs such as atorvastatin can speed up the process, surgical treatments such as cranial craniotomy or cranial drilling hematoma removal are still the only options for patients with CSDH. Lymphatic circulation spreads throughout most tissues of the human body, assists in removing metabolic wastes in the interstitium, maintains body fluid homeostasis, and plays a role in immune response and immune surveillance. For a long time, the central nervous system has been considered as an immune-privileged organ, that is, the central nervous system does not have the presence of the lymphatic system. Until 2015, Louveau et al. used immunofluorescence staining and other techniques to find functional lymphatic ducts adjacent to the dural venous sinuses in the mouse brain when looking for the channels for T cells to enter and leave the meninges, confirming the first intracranial meningeal lymphatic vessels. (mLVs), and found that mLVs express the classic markers of lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs), namely VEGFR3, prostate homeobox 1 (PROX 1), podoplanin, lymphatic endothelial markers transparent Ronidase receptor-1 (LYVE-1), etc. Relevant studies have confirmed that meningeal lymphatic vessels can drain interstitial fluid (ISF), macromolecular substances and immune cells out of the skull, providing a new drainage pathway for the excretion of metabolic waste from the central nervous system. Subsequent studies have confirmed that mLV is involved in the pathophysiological process of a series of neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). This phenomenon suggests that mLVs play an important role in central nervous system diseases.
