Apixaban Versus Warfarin for the Management of Post-operative Atrial Fibrillation
Coronary Artery Bypass GraftingPostoperative Atrial Fibrilation3 moreIn this open-label, prospective, randomized pilot study, patients who develop atrial fibrillation after isolated coronary artery bypass grafting surgery will be identified. Patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (>12 hours) or recurrent sustained atrial fibrillation (>2 episodes of atrial fibrillation lasting longer than 30 minutes) will be candidates for inclusion. Upon meeting study inclusion and exclusion criteria, and after informed consent, patients will be randomized to either the standard of care (warfarin per protocol) or apixaban arms of the trial. Routine postoperative care after CABG will occur in both groups. Upon discharge, anticoagulation in both groups will be managed by the anticoagulation clinic. Patients will be followed for 30 days after surgery.
Acute Mesenteric Venous Thrombosis.. in Assiut University Hospital Management Controversies
Mesenteric Vein ThrombosisInitial treatment in the management of acute mesenteric vein thrombosis (MVT) is controversial. Some authors have proposed a surgical approach, whereas others have advocated medical therapy (anticoagulation). In this study, the investigators analyzed and compared the results obtained with surgical and medical treatment to determine the best initial management for this disease.
Bedside Ultrasound by Anesthesiologists for Screening Deep Venous Thrombosis
DVTThe 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.
Cyanotic Heart Disease and Thrombosis
ThrombosisThe purpose of the study is to examine previously examined patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease to assess how many of the patients have obtained additional blood clots since they were examined 8 years ago.
Comparison Between Xarelto Versus Warfarin in the Recanalization Rate of Deep Venous Thrombosis...
Deep Venous ThrombosisThis 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.
Platelet Reactivity in Stent Thrombosis Patients
Coronary Artery Stent ThrombosisRecent studies have demonstrated a marked interindividual variability of clopidogrel's capacity to inhibit platelet aggregation with a substantial proportion (11-34%) of the patients considered non-responders to clopidogrel treatment. Variable intestinal absorption is suggested to contribute to the inconsistencies in response to clopidogrel. However, little is known about intestinal absorption in subjects who had suffered from a stent thrombosis. The MAPCAT-study has been designed to investigate whether plasma pharmacokinetics (represented by Cmax, Tmax and the AUC) after a 600 mg loading dose are significantly different between subjects who have suffered a stent thrombosis and subjects who have not suffered a stent thrombosis.
Safety and Efficacy Study of OmniWave Endovascular System to Treat Deep Vein Thrombosis
Deep Vein ThrombosisThis 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.
Comparison Between Two Optional IVC Filters Regardind Ease of Use,Complications and Outcome
TraumaDeep Vein ThrombosisOptEase 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.
Stroke Prevention in Sickle Cell Anemia (STOP 1)
AnemiaSickle Cell4 moreTo reduce episodes of first time stroke by 75 percent in children with sickle cell anemia by the administration of prophylactic transfusion therapy.
Retrievability and Incidence of Complex Retrieval in Celect Versus Denali Filter
Deep Venous ThrombosisThe 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.
