Active clinical trials for "Thromboembolism"

A systematic review and meta analysis will be performed of risk assessment models for Venous thromboembolism ("VTE" including pulmonary embolism "PE" and deep venous thrombosis "DVT")in hospitalized medical patients. The goal of this study is to evaluate whether the incidence of VTE is lower in patients that are evaluated with a risk assessment model and treated with thromboprophylaxis for their assigned level of risk.

Cancer increases the risk of deep vein blood clots and clots traveling to the lungs (emboli) which cause morbidity (leg swelling, pain, and shortness of breath), sudden death, delays cancer treatment, and decreases cancer survival by 66% compared to similar cancer patients without blood clots. Blood thinners may prevent clots but major bleeding is also a problem, so preventive therapies are not used routinely. Identifying patients at highest risk for clots is critical. A tool exists but it has not been used outside of research. We propose to study how to apply this tool in clinical practice and test if it works.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains a leading cause of death in trauma patients. Based on the EAST Management Guidelines for the prevention of VTE in trauma patients, a number of research questions could be addressed by a thorough current literature review combined with a multicenter concurrent analysis. This proposal seeks to create a data registry of trauma patients from multiple trauma centers around the United States that will serve as a platform for the study of VTE.

To characterize and analyze the number, type and incidence of adverse events/suspected adverse drug reactions in patients treated with Apixaban, according to therapeutic indications approved in Mexico.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of Xarelto in the prophylaxis of VTE in Indian patients undergoing elective TKR/THR

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the pharmacokinetic and -dynamic properties of rivaroxaban after oral administration in cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) individuals. The secondary objective of this study is to determine the steady-state rivaroxaban activity in cervical SCI individuals under long-term therapy. Primary Objective In-house patients will be informed concerning the study and informed consent will be collected. During the screening day, in- / exclusion criteria will be assessed and a blood samples will be taken for assessing haematology, clinical chemistry and coagulation parameters. Furthermore, the evaluation day will be scheduled. On the evaluation day, in- / exclusion criteria will be re-assessed. A venous catheter will be introduced into a forearm or lower leg of each participant for the collection of blood at the specified time points. Skin inspection for subcutaneous bleeding will be performed and vital signs will be recorded. A blood sample will be taken for assessing haematology, clinical chemistry and coagulation parameters. Single administration of oral rivaroxaban in the form of Xarelto® 10mg tablets (Bayer Schering Pharma, Berlin, Germany). Rivaroxaban concentrations will be determined from plasma samples taken before, 30min after and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 24 hours after rivaroxaban administration. Rivaroxaban activity will be determined from plasma samples taken before, 30min after and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 24 hours after rivaroxaban administration using a factor Xa inhibition test and measuring prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). Skin inspection for subcutaneous bleeding and measurements of vital signs will be performed 30min and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours after rivaroxaban administration. Secondary Objective Patients under long-term rivaroxaban therapy will be recruited during their annual check-up visit at the Swiss Paraplegic Centre. In- / exclusion criteria will be assessed, and the patients will be informed concerning the study and informed consent will be collected. Blood samples will be taken for assessing haematology, clinical chemistry and coagulation parameters, and skin inspection for subcutaneous bleeding and measurements of vital signs will be performed. A blood sample (4.3ml citrated venous blood) will be taken for assessing the primary and secondary outcome parameters.

Aim of our study is to find frequency and risk factors for venous thromboembolism development in patients who underwent surgery for incisional ventral hernia. There were 240 patients enrolled in our retrospective observational cohort study. Included patients were operated for incisional hernia in Saveljev University Surgery Clinic from January 2018 to December 2019. Compression duplex ultrasound of lower legs veins was performed in 2-4 days after surgery for all participants. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of the venous thromboembolism event, including pulmonary embolism.

This study aims to collect patient reported outcomes and assess treatment satisfaction in active cancer patients treated with rivaroxaban for VTE (venous thromboembolism).

The investigators aim to evaluate the utility of portal vein pulsatility as a predictor of the composite outcome of persistent organ dysfunction plus death in patients undergoing elective or urgent pulmonary endarterectomy for thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. The investigators' hypothesis is that the portal vein pulsatility fraction, measured using transesophageal echocardiography immediately after weaning of cardiopulmonary bypass, is proportional to the risk of developing subsequent end-organ dysfunction in the postoperative setting.

Patients with cancer are at a significantly increased risk of experiencing a venous thromboembolism (VTE). VTE is defined by a blood clot in the leg or lower extremity (deep vein thrombosis) or a blood clot in the lung (pulmonary embolism) and is a leading cause of condition of being diseased and death among cancer patients. The goal of the study is to gather information how often venous thromboembolism (VTE) occurs in prostate cancer patients in Sweden and how this condition is treated with blood thinners.
