Deep Vein Thrombosis

Lower limb trauma requiring immobilization is a very frequent condition that is associated with an increased risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE). The TRiP(cast) score has been developed to provide individual VTE risk stratification and help in thromboprophylactic anticoagulation decision. The recent CASTING study had confirmed that patients with a TRiP(cast) score \<7 have a very low risk of VTE and could be safely manage without prophylactic treatment. Conversely, patients with a score ≥ 7 have a high-risk of VTE and require a prophylactic anticoagulant treatment. Low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) have been shown to be effective in this indication. However, in the CASTING study, the 3-month symptomatic VTE rate was 2.6% in this subgroup despite LMWH prophylactic treatment. This result suggests that LMWH are not sufficiently effective in this particular subgroup of high-risk patients. Direct oral anticoagulants, and in particular rivaroxaban, may be an effective and safe alternative to LMWH. In the PRONOMOS study, comparing LMWH with rivaroxaban in patients who had undergone non-major lower limb surgery, the relative risk of symptomatic VTE was 0.25 (95% CI = 0.09 - 0.75) in favor of rivaroxaban 10mg. No significant increase in bleeding was found. In addition, as LMWH treatment requires subcutaneous daily injections, the use of rivaroxaban may positively impact patients' quality of life as well as being effective in medico-economic terms. The aims of this study are to demonstrate that rivaroxaban is at least as effective, easier to use and more efficient than LMWH in patients with trauma to the lower limb requiring immobilisation and deemed to be at risk of venous thromboembolism (TRiP(cast) score ≥ 7). High-risk patients are randomized to receive either rivaroxaban or LMWH. They are followed up at 45 days and 90 days to assess the occurrence of thrombotic events or bleeding, as well as their satisfaction with the treatment received.

Patients with iliofemoral vein thrombosis are prone to developing post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). The profunda femoris vein (PFV) is an important inflow of the iliofemoral vein. Profunda femoris vein thrombosis clearance (PFV-TC) may improve the patency of iliofemoral vein and reduce the occurrence of PTS.

A head-to-head comparison of two different types of percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT) - ClotTriever System versus aspiration thrombectomy (including rheolytic thrombectomy) - in patients with acute iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT) was conducted to determine whether ClotTriever System can improve thrombus clearance rate, reduce the incidence of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS), and enhance the long-term efficacy of endovascular treatment for acute iliofemoral DVT.

This prospective, observational, post-market study will be performed to collect patient-level data on the Celect Platinum Vena Cava Filter Sets and the Günther Tulip Vena Cava Filter Retrieval Set to confirm continued safety and performance of the devices throughout their expected lifetime and continued acceptability of the benefit:risk ratio. Additionally, the study intends to evaluate longer-term (i.e., up to 5 years) outcome data while the filter is indwelling.

This study is being done to determine the feasibility and safety of using a novel dose adjusted apixaban for the management of participants with cancer-associated venous thromboembolism (blood clot) or and thrombocytopenia (low number of platelets in the blood). Investigators are also looking to see if participants on this treatment have fewer bleeding episodes. The name of the study drug involved in this study is: -Apixiban (a type of anticoagulant)

The objective of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficiency of different anticoagulation schemes with heparin for venous thromboembolism prevention in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What is the optimal time for the beginning of anticoagulation with heparin to efficiently prevent venous thromboembolism in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage? Early beginning (within the first 2 days but not earlier than 12 hours after the admission of a patient) or delayed beginning (on the third day after the admission of a patient)? * Which of the two timeframes (early or delayed) for anticoagulation beginning is the most safe in terms of bleeding complications including intracerebral hemorrhage expansion? Researchers will compare the results of early and delayed start of anticoagulation using heparin in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage to define the optimal start time for anticoagulation that provides the most favourable efficiency/safety profile. Participants will: * Undergo a computed tomography (CT) scan of the brain on hospital admission and then 12-24 hours after the hospital admission and 24 hours after the beginning of venous thromboembolism prophylaxis using heparin; * Undergo the ultrasound examination of lower extremity deep veins on hospital admission and then once every 7 days; * Receive prophylactic doses of low molecular weight heparin or unfractionated heparin either beginning within the first 2 days but not earlier than 12 hours after the hospital admission or starting on the 3rd day after the hospital admission.

The study aims to compare the modified approach through ipsilateral deep calf venous access or contralateral femoral venous access with the traditional approach through ipsilateral popliteal venous access for iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis (DVT) with distal popliteal vein thrombosis, and determine whether it can achieve similar therapeutic effects as iliofemoral DVT without distal popliteal vein thrombosis.

The purpose of this research is to measure changes in venous blood flow with an air-filled bladder under an intermittent pneumatic compression device cuff (used to prevent deep venous thrombosis) or venous diagnostic device cuff (used to detect deep venous thrombosis). The devices being used in the study are investigational and not FDA-cleared.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination of anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy on the patency of iliac vein at 12-month post stenting in patients with acute proximal DVT and ipsilateral iliac vein stenosis who received percutaneous mechanic thrombectomy and iliac vein stenting.

The DETECT randomized controlled trial addresses the question of whether surveillance ultrasound in critically ill patients by facilitating DVT detection reduces the incidence of PE and lowers all-cause 90-day mortality. The primary outcome is 90-day all-cause mortality.

After hip or knee replacement all patients receive a standardized treatment with blood thinners, this medication is called thrombosis prophylaxis. However, despite this standard treatment some individuals still develop venous thrombosis (VTE), while others experience bleeding. This indicates that not all patients have the same VTE risk following surgery. Individualizing the amount of thrombosis prophylaxis following surgery might lead to less thrombotic and bleeding events. In this study the investigators individualize the treatment with thrombosis prophylaxis based on the medical history of a patient. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Can thrombosis prophylaxis be shortened in patients with a low VTE risk to decrease the risk of bleeding without increasing the risk of VTE? Does an increase in the dose and duration of thrombosis prophylaxis in patients with a high VTE risk reduce the risk of VTE without inducing an unacceptable risk of bleeds? Researchers will compare both the shortened treatment in low VTE risk patients and the intensified and extended treatment in high VTE risk patients with the standard treatment to assess the risk of VTE and bleeding in comparison to the standard treatment. Participants will receive 4 questionnaires to evaluate whether they have experienced a VTE or bleed. For this study no additional hospital visits are necessary.

Compression ultrasound is commonly used in emergency department. Accuracy to rule out deep vein thrombosis is excellent but lower then Ddimer assessment which is actually gold standard. With progress in formation of emergency physicians (EP), quality of material used, the investigators hypothesize that compression ultrasound can rule out deep vein thrombosis in case of non high probability, as standard care and DDimer assay.

While blood clots after major cancer surgery are common and harmful to patients, the medications to decrease blood clot risk are seldom used after patients leave the hospital despite the recommendation of multiple professional medical societies. The reason why these medications are seldom prescribed is not well understood. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Does surgeon education paired with an electronic medical record based decision support tool improve the guideline concordant prescription of pharmacologic venous thromboembolism after abdominopelvic cancer surgery? * Does dedicated patient education regarding blood clots at the time of hospital discharge after abdominopelvic cancer surgery improve understanding of the risk of venous thromboembolism and adherence to pharmacologic prophylaxis? The investigators will study these questions using a stepped-wedge randomized trial where groups of surgeons will use a tool integrated to the electronic medical record to educate them on the individualized patient risks of blood clots after major cancer surgery and inform them regarding guidelines for preventative medicines. Utilization of the medications before and after using the tool will be compared. Patients will be administered a questionnaire assessing their awareness of blood clots as a risk after cancer surgery. For those prescribed medications to reduce blood clot risk after leaving the hospital, the questionnaire will evaluate whether they took the medications as prescribed. Survey results will be evaluated before and after implementation of education on blood clot risk at the time of hospital discharge.

The goal of this non interventional study is to demonstrate the diagnostic performances on fresh plasmas in comparison with the performances on frozen plasmas in any patients with VTE suspicion, whatever the pre-test probability. The main question it aims to answer is : Are the performances equivalent on fresh plasmas in comparison with frozen plasmas or is it necessary to determine a new algorithm of the Clinical Decision Support with a new cut-off? Participants will be diagnosed and treated in accordance with routine standard of care.

This study aims to collect and create a labelled ultrasound image data set containing ultrasound image series and video clips of patients that undergo routine ultrasound scans on lower limbs, because of suspected deep vein thrombosis. The data will be used to train an AI model within ThrombUS+ project to achieve automated detection of deep vein thrombosis on conventional ultrasound scans. Primary objectives: 1. Collect and curate imaging data from ultrasound scans of patients suspected for DVT. 2. Collect accompanying metadata on patient demographics, referral note, existing known medical conditions at the time of scan, diagnosis based on the scan, operator anonymized ID, metadata on the ultrasound equipment used. 3. Anonymize the data set according to established regulations to be used for research purposes and in specific for training an artificial intelligence model to achieve automated DVT detection. Secondary objectives: 1\. Describe the data set in the Argos/OpenAIRE tool and make it publicly available through the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) portal via OpenAIRE, to be used by other researchers for image processing, analysis, and artificial intelligence (AI) model training.

Ipsilateral popliteal venous the most common access for pharmacomechanical thrombectomy (PMT) in the treatment of acute deep venous thrombosis (DVT), but the result was not satisfactory. The investigators adjust the access to improve the thrombus clearance rate and reduce the incidence of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS).

Ongoing registration of patients with venous thromboembolism treated by means of antithrombotic therapy, thrombolisys, open surgery, endovenous desobstruction and stenting.

This multicentre, randomised geko™ venous thromboembolism (VTE) prevention study will prospectively collect clinical data on VTE occurrences in immobile patients after stroke, who will be randomised, on a 1:1 allocation, to receive either standard of care (Intermittent Pneumatic Compression) or geko™ neuromuscular electrostimulation device. The aim is to assess the prevention of VTE during a follow-up period of 90 days (three months) post-randomisation.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the use of a machine learning-based algorithm and point-of-care D-dimer to laboratory D-dimer and compression ultrasound to exclude deep vein thrombosis in the under extremities in patients referred to a medical department suspected of having deep vein thrombosis. The main aim is to answer are if a machine learning algorithm and point of care D-dimer can exclude deep vein thrombosis in more patients than clinical assessment and D-dimer alone.

The study will use questionnaire to measure the exposure of patients, and prospectively follow-up to collect the prognosis information.

Microvisk Technologies Ltd designs and develops test systems for monitoring the effectiveness of Warfarin and Warfarin-like medications. Warfarin and Warfarin-like medications are used to reduce the risk of stroke in people with an irregular heart rhythm (Atrial Fibrillation) or with mechanical heart valve replacements, as well as reducing the risk of recurrent Venous Thromboembolism. Warfarin dosing needs to be individualized. In order to correctly dose an individual in order to optimize the effectiveness of warfarin, and minimize the risk of bleeding, close monitoring of the degree of anticoagulation is required through regular blood testing. This test is known as PT/INR (Prothrombin Time/International Normalised Ratio). Simply, it is the measure of the amount of time (in seconds) it takes for your blood to clot. Microvisk Technologies Ltd are developing new anticoagulant test strips for patients on warfarin or warfarin like medications. The blood collected as part of this study will be tested upon Microvisk's second generation Prothrombin/International Normalized Ratio (PT/INR) Test System. The donated blood will be used on ongoing development, validation, verification, and calibration projects. This study is being performed in partnership with the Oxford University Hospital (OUH) and Local Clinical Research Networks (LCRN) Thames Valley Core team, part of National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR).

A new algorithm derived from only patient age and components of the complete blood count and basic metabolic panel can identify patients discharged from the hospital who may benefit from a blood thinner (called rivaroxaban) to decrease their risk of blood clots, and for whom the risk of bleeding is minimal. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of a pop-up alert, which will be seen by clinicians when a discharging patient has been identified as being someone for whom the risk of blood clots is high, but for whom bleeding risk is estimated to be low. The pop-up alert will be enabled in a sequential fashion for each group of hospitals in 1 month blocks. We will look to see if the pop-up alert changes the number of patients who receive rivaroxaban. We will also measure the outcomes of blood clots and bleeding among all discharging patients.

The aim of this multicenter randomized clinical trial is to compare the tunneling technique of PICC insertion with the non-tunneled insertion technique in the incidence of the combined or isolated outcome of catheter-related bloodstream primary infection, thrombosis, obstruction, and accidental dislodgement in the adult population within a period of up to 30 days.

Isolated distal DVT (iDDVT) is the most frequent clinical presentation of VTE and is associated with a significant morbidity and risks of long-term complications. Data from clinical trials highlighted that patients with iDDVT might require some level of AC treatment. However, the optimal anticoagulant intensity is uncertain, and it is plausible that the best benefit/risk ratio for AC might be achieved with lower intensity doses rather than therapeutic doses. The principal research question of the Apixaban to treat calf vein thrombosis (API-CALF) study is to determine whether, after a conventional course of 7 days of Apixaban 10mg BID, Apixaban 2.5mg BID (experimental arm) is non inferior to Apixaban 5 mg BID (standard arm) in preventing VTE recurrence and bleeding in patients with iDDVT. Patients will be treated with Apixaban for a total of 3 months. In that perspective we will conduct an international multicentre open-label assessor-blinded study
