Active clinical trials for "Venous Thrombosis"

The study is designed as a prospective comparative study. All patients will receive prophylactic anticoagulation according to routine hospital protocol after surgery. A bedside ultrasound examination will be performed by a trained anesthesiologist prior to the surgery and then daily beginning on postoperative day 2 until patient discharge.

This is a prospective, randomized study, aiming to evaluate patients with Deep Venous Thrombosis in lower limbs and the recanalization rates evaluated with DUPLEX ultrasound, as so the clinical outcomes in patients submitted to oral anticoagulation with Rivaroxaban versus Warfarin.

This is a prospective, multi-center single arm registry to assess the use of the OmniWave Endovascular System in subjects presenting with either lower or upper extremity acute (symptoms have been present for greater than or equal to 14 days) DVT.

OptEase filters are easier to retrieve but the dwell time is shorter than the Gunter filters. There are more thrombi on the OptEase than on the Gunter at the time of retrieval. OptEase filter has a better infitration capabillity due to its diamond shape. OptEase filters will hjave more IVC occlusions as a complication.

The primary purpose of this study is to compare the Celect and Denali filters in terms of complicated filter retrieval and indwelling complications after a 2-month indwelling time.

The SENTRY Bioconvertible Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) Filter has been developed to provide temporary protection against pulmonary embolism (PE).

Intracranial hypertension (ICH) is a mortality risk factor in severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), in purulent meningitis, in hepatic encephalopathy and in Reye's syndrome. It is also a risk factor for severe neurologic sequelae in survivors. Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is likely to guide therapeutics, and certain research on adults or on children, suggest that IH therapeutic approach, for instance for bacterial meningitis, would improve the prognosis. Two monitoring techniques are currently recommended. They are reference methods for ICP measure : monitoring with intraventricular catheter, intra-parenchymal monitoring using optical fiber catheter. Non invasive methods have been suggested, including ultrasound measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) which is the most interesting one. The ONSD measured ultrasonically is correlated with ICP level in adults with severe TBI. A diameter over 5,9 mm predicts ICH within the first 24 hours. In children, ONSD average values have been worked out, and an ONSD increase is found in children suffering from hydrocephalus with IH and in children with TBI. ICH precocious detection is fundamental in children sensitive to ICH because their cerebral development is not finished yet. Difficulties met for ICP monitoring implementation in infants and its invasive nature are often disliked by clinicians. A non-invasive exam is then essential to allow a better care of children with ICH in intensive care unit.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the ClotTriever catheter in the treatment of patients with symptomatic iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT)

Despite optimal anticoagulation therapy of patients with proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT), there is still high number of patients suffering from post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) due to the chronic venous occlusion, suboptimal collateralization, and venous valvular dysfunction. Last two decades endovascular catheter-based treatment modalities have been tested and used in an attempt to reduce incidence and symptoms of PTS in selected patients. Especially, patients with extensive iliofemoral DVT have an increased risk of PTS. In an effort to accelerate thrombus dissolution or thrombus extraction, the endovascular removal of acute venous thrombus has been introduced as therapeutic option in patients with extensive iliofemoral DVT. Randomized trials of catheter-based strategies for thrombus removal have documented improved vein patency, preserved valves function, and reduced post-thrombotic syndrome. The aim of our study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of different types of endovascular methods of treatment followed by anticoagulation therapy in patients with acute extensive DVT. Retrospective multicentre analysis of app 100 patients scheduled for endovascular treatment of extensive DVT. The results of mechanical/pharmacomechanical thrombectomy followed by local catheter directed thrombolysis (CDT), will be compared with CDT alone, or with ultrasound-accelerated thrombolysis. The 24-month incidence of PTS assessed by Villalta scoring system, major bleeding complications, the rate of venous recanalization, recurrence of DVT, and other end-points will be evaluated.

Superficial vein thrombosis (SVT) and venous thromboembolism (VTE) are related entities. Only in the last years a series of observational studies mainly conducted in France could show that ´isolated SVT´ (without concomitant deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism) is in fact not a benign and spontaneously healing disease but bears a potential for severe thromboembolic complications once not treated adequately. INSIGHTS-SVT study aims at collecting representative data on the current management and outcomes of SVT in Germany under real-life conditions. It will document the implementation of the recently issued national SVT guidelines issued by the Society for Angiology (DGA) and the Society for Phlebology (DGP).
