Active clinical trials for "Thrombosis"

This pilot open-label randomized controlled trial aims to assess if treatment with sulodexide may improve the endothelial status and inflammatory response in post-COVID-19 patients. Survived inpatients with severe-to-critical COVID-19 within 14 days after discharge are randomized to receive sulodexide 250 LSU 1 oral capsule twice daily or no treatment for 8 weeks. Biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, and prothrombotic changes are assessed at 0, 4, and 8 weeks. The hypothesis is that affected endothelial function, pro-inflammatory, and pro-thrombotic changes could be improved with sulodexide treatment in convalescent COVID-19 patients who suffered a severe-to-critical clinical presentation and have chronic comorbidities of high risk for endothelial dysfunction.

This is a prospective study designed to evaluate the structural and functional integrity of transcatheter or surgical bioprosthetic valves with multimodality imaging. The study further aims to confirm resolution of the early bioprosthetic valve thrombotic changes with anticoagulation.

Рrospective single-centre randomized open-label study for comparison three modes of treatment for thrombosis of varicose great saphena vein - standard medical with fondaparinux sodium for 45 days, endovenous laser ablation close to the saphenofemoral junction with a 7-day course of anticoagulation and endovenous laser ablation close to the saphenofemoral junction without the use of anticoagulants.

This is a study of a medical procedure that utilizes a commercially available catheter (the Bullfrog® Micro-Infusion Device) to locally deliver a commercially available anti-inflammatory drug (dexamethasone sodium phosphate injection) around the deep veins after DVT recanalization, where DVT symptoms were present for up to 14 days prior to recanalization. The goal of the study is to see if local anti-inflammation helps prevent re-thrombosis of the blood vessel and improvement in symptoms for up to 24 months after the initial DVT recanalization procedure.

Patients with cancer are prone to have blood clots, which are usually treated with blood thinners. The main complication of blood thinners is bleeding. This is especially a concern when the number of platelets in the blood is lower than 50,000 per microliter. The role of platelets is to stop bleeding, so when the number of platelets is low, patients are at a higher risk of bleeding. Cancer patients are prone to have lower platelet numbers due to cancer therapies and/or cancer itself. It is not clear what the best treatment is for cancer patients who need blood thinners for a blood clot but have low platelet counts. The investigators plan to do a small study called a pilot study to help plan for a larger study in such patients. In the pilot study, investigators will include 50 patients with cancer, low platelet counts, and a blood clot diagnosed within 4 weeks. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment strategies: the full dose of blood thinners along with platelet transfusion or a reduced dose of blood thinners without platelet transfusion. The investigators will follow all patients for 90 days. If this pilot study is successful, it will help lead to a much larger trial, which will provide important information on the best treatment strategy in these patients.

The FLOW trial evaluates the follow-up of the vascular access for hemodialysis. In current clinical care, vascular access flow volume is periodically assessed to detect and treat asymptomatic stenosis. The FLOW trial will determine whether it is safe to abandon this practice of active surveillance. Vascular access stenosis will then be treated only when clinical problems of flow dysfunction occur during hemodialysis. The investigators expect that the intervention rate and medical costs will be reduced by 40% when correction of vascular access stenosis is triggered by clinically apparent access dysfunction rather than asymptomatic flow reduction.

This primary care study aims to compare the "time in therapeutic range" (TTR) of two strategies for monitoring the international normalized ratio (INR) over 6 months in nursing homes. The population consists of frail elderly patients for whom Anti-Vitamin K treatments are frequent, and who are consequently more prone to embolic and hemorrhagic complications.

For Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) risk groups, the effect and safety of blood circulation improvement before and after application are evaluated using an investigational device (model name CGM MB-1701).

In this project, we plan to evaluate whether a new, rotational thromboelastometry-guided algorithm (ROTEM) to guide hemostatic resuscitation decreases the use of allogeneic blood products, the total amount of bleeding, transfusion related side effects, thromboembolic complications and costs. Its effect on each patient's post-operative hemostatic profile is also measured. We plan to enroll 140 patients having ACLF with variceal bleeding randomized into two groups: one will be treated conventionally using clinical judgement and standard coagulation tests such as prothrombin time, platelet count, etc. the other treated using a ROTEM-based algorithm. They will be followed for development of rebleeding, complications of transfusion and any signs of infection after hospitalization

The goal of the CRETE Studies is to investigate the newly identified age-dependent heterogeneity in the efficacy of enoxaparin in reducing the risk of central venous catheter-associated deep venous thrombosis in critically ill children.
