D-Dimer and IPG for Recurrent Thrombosis (DIRECT)
Deep Vein ThrombosisPulmonary EmbolismTo simplify and improve the diagnostic approach to patients with clinically suspected recurrent DVT by determining whether the results of the combination of IPG and d-dimer testing, using a whole blood agglutination assay, can be used in the management of such patients.
Prevalence, Risk Factors and Outcomes of Pediatric Vascular Thrombosis
Vascular ThrombosisThis study is aimed to identify the prevalence, risk factors and outcomes of children with either venous or arterial thromboembolism admitted to children hospital Assiut University aiming at early detection and avoidance of catastrophic complications .
Enoxaparin in Children With Asymptomatic Venous Thrombosis After Pediatric Cardiac Surgery
Asymptotic Venous ThrombosisThe CATCH-enoxaparin trial is the natural continuation of the CATCH study. It will capitalize on the fact that patients enrolled in the CATCH study will be specifically screened for asymptomatic thromboembolism (TEs) in order to answer important clinical questions. The investigators propose a randomized controlled trial to address whether, among pediatric patients with congenital heart defects (CHD) recovering from cardiovascular surgery and diagnosed with an asymptomatic venous TE, the use of enoxaparin results in a net therapeutic benefit?

Comparison of Arixtra vs. Lovenox to Prevent Blood Clots in Medically Ill Patients
Venous ThrombosisA total of 50 patients >40 yrs of age with an expected hospital stay in the Medical Intensive Care or Regional Heart Unit at LVH Muhlenberg of 6 days or longer will be enrolled. The patient and study team will be blinded to which drug they are receiving (either Arixtra or Lovenox). Subjects will be examined for any bleeding complications. Subjects will receive drug for a total of 6-14 days while in the hospital. A follow up phone call will be performed by the study team approximately 30 days after discharge from the hospital.
Role of 12-lipoxygenase in Platelet Reactivity and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
ThrombosisType 2 Diabetes MellitusThis study investigates the potential protective effects of fatty acid supplementation through inhibition of platelet activation. fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6) will be evaluated for protection from agonist-mediated platelet activation in platelets from type 2 diabetics and healthy controls. Post-menopausal women with type 2 diabetes mellitus and healthy post-menopausal women will be treated with omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid supplements to determine protection from platelet activation and thrombosis in this high risk population.
Inflammation and Thrombosis in Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis After Transcatheter Aortic Valve...
Aortic StenosisInflammation1 moreThe central hypothesis of this study is that TAVR leads to platelet deposition and inflammatory cell activation that can be attenuated by the potent anti-platelet and/or pleiotropic effects of ticagrelor. This single center, prospective randomized trial addresses the following specific aims: To determine whether high-potency ADP receptor blockade reduces measures of platelet activation in patients after TAVR. To determine whether high-potency ADP receptor blockade mitigates the pro-thrombotic inflammatory response observed after TAVR.
Minimization of Bleeding Related Adverse Drug Events in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Venous ThromboembolismDeep Venous Thrombosis2 morePlastic and reconstructive surgeons consistently create large, raw surfaces as part of their operative procedures. Thus, plastic & reconstructive surgery patients are among those at highest risk for anticoagulant-associated bleeding adverse drug events (ADEs). This study seeks to optimize both the safety and effectiveness of post-operative enoxaparin by comparing aFXa levels, bleeding events, and VTE events among plastic & reconstructive surgery patients randomized to receive two different enoxaparin dose regimens.
Pharmacist Interventions in Rural Elderly Warfarin Patients
Atrial FibrillationThrombosis2 moreThe primary study goal is to explore the influence of pharmacist interventions on the effectiveness of warfarin treatment in a specific subpopulation.
