BRAVO - Betrixaban Registry Using Real Time Observations in Acute Medical Illness to Assess Venous...
Venous ThrombosesPart 1 - Evaluate the real-world implementation of extended prophylaxis with betrixaban in the acutely ill hospitalized medical population Part 2 - Describe patterns of Venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in acutely ill medical patients who qualify for extended VTE prophylaxis
The Correlation of a D-dimer Testing Protocol With Venous Thromboembolism in Surgical Colorectal...
Venous ThrombosesColorectal Cancer4 moreThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of a D-dimer based protocol to screen for thrombotic events in colorectal surgical patients. This study is unique because of the multistage screening process for DVT's using a standardized D-dimer testing methodology and ultrasound that will take place throughout the preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative processes. The data collected from this screening study will help establish the baseline DVT rates in UTMB's colorectal surgical patients before and after surgery. Additionally, the data from this study can help determine if a D-dimer blood test has predictive value in UTMB's colorectal surgical patient population. This study may also provide preliminary evidence for further research regarding the adjustment of D-dimer cutoff values. Specifically for patient subsets such as surgical colorectal patients with a moderate pretest probability and clinical conditions associated with low test specificity
The 36-month Extension to Follow up Sub Study
Postphlebitic SyndromePost-Thrombotic Syndrome1 moreThe purpose of this study is to evaluate leg health for one additional year in patients with symptomatic proximal deep venous thrombosis who did not already develop Post-Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS) during the 2 years of follow up in the SOX Trial.
Portal Vein Thrombosis in Cirrhosis
Hepatic Vein ThrombosisCirrhosisThis study evaluates the supervivence of cirrhotic patients that develop portal vein thrombosis in comparison to cirrhotic patients that do not develop portal vein thrombosis.
Primary Upper Limb Deep Vein Thrombosis. Is First Rib Resection Necessary?
Paget Schroetter SyndromeThe purpose of the study is to compare outcome of patients with effort thrombosis who were treated operatively to those treated nonoperatively
Association of Cytokines With the Development of Complications in Burn and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis...
Inflammatory ResponseMulti Organ Failure2 moreThis study will involve blood draws to test for specific cytokines. The study goal is to gain a better understanding of the role of inflammatory response in the development of specific complications in burn and TENS patients.
Outcomes in Patients With Myeloproliferative Neoplasm and Splanchnic Vein Thrombosis
Myeloproliferative NeoplasmSplanchnic Vein Thrombosis2 morePatients with Myeloproliferative neoplasms are at particular risk for developing arterial and venous thrombosis, especially thrombosis in the splanchnic venous system. The patho-physiology and natural history of MPN related SVT is poorly understood and treatment algorithms vary greatly. This is of considerable importance since the morbidity and mortality in this group of patients is high. This study aims to observe patients with MPN related SVT over a period of five years to document their clinical progress. Methods of observation include clinical assessment, standard investigations and laboratory based research investigations
Venous Thrombectomy/Thrombolysis Outcome Registry
Deep Venous ThrombosisPost Thrombotic SyndromeDeep Venous Thrombosis affects more than 350,000 individuals each year in the U.S.The Registry will track patient outcome and quality of life over 60 months for treatment with anticoagulation and elastic compression stockings and catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) in accordance with current treatment guidelines .
Using a Novel Algorithm to Improve the Retrieval Rate of Inferior Vena Cava Filters (iRetrieve Study)...
Venous Thromboembolism,Pulmonary Embolism,1 moreSince 2003, that the first retrievable IVC filter was introduced in the U.S,improvements have been made in the filter design to resolve problems of structural integrity and increase the ability to remove the filter after longer periods of time.The FDA issued a communication in August 2010 advising physicians to remove retrievable filters whenever possible and updated that letter again in May 2014 due to concerns that these retrievable IVC filters, intended for short-term placement, are not always removed once a patient's risk for PE subsides. Known long term risks associated with IVC filters include but are not limited to lower limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT), filter fracture, filter migration, filter embolization and IVC perforation.
Determination of Predictive Value of Echography Doppler Abnormalities
Breast CancerUpper Extremity Deep Vein Thrombosis1 moreIn order to avoid to use a traumatic and iatrogenic examen (phlebography), the purpose of the study is to validate echography doppler in the diagnosis of asymptomatic related catheter related thrombosis.
