28,884 | Management of thrombosis in antiphospholipid syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus in pregnancy. | Pregnancy is a high risk period for thrombosis in women with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL). Thrombosis may affect the mother, both in the venous and arterial beds, and also have a role in pregnancy loss. Thromboprophylaxis thus is warranted... |
28,885 | Mono-organic versus multi-organic involvement in primary antiphospholipid syndrome. | The prevalence of mono-organic and multi-organic involvement during long-term follow-up in patients with primary antiphospholipid syndrome (pAPS) was investigated. We studied 60 pAPS patients followed up at least 5 years. Patients with associated systemic lupus erythematosus were excluded. All patients received oral an... |
28,886 | Avidity of anti-beta2-glycoprotein I and thrombosis or pregnancy loss in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome. | We aimed to evaluate avidity of anti-beta(2)-glycoprotein I antibodies (anti-beta(2)-GPIs) in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) at the time of acute thrombotic events or pregnancy loss as compared with clinical event-free periods. To do so, 69 sera samples from 16 patients (6 with primary APS and 10 with AP... |
28,887 | Deep venous thrombosis: withholding anticoagulation therapy after negative complete lower limb US findings. | To establish the safety of withholding anticoagulation therapy after negative findings at a complete lower limb ultrasonographic (US) examination of the symptomatic leg for suspected deep venous thrombosis (DVT).</AbstractText>Regional ethics committee approval and patient consent were obtained. A total of 542 consecut... |
28,888 | Catheter directed thrombolysis for treatment of ilio-femoral deep venous thrombosis is durable, preserves venous valve function and may prevent chronic venous insufficiency. | To investigate the results of catheter directed thrombolysis offered to patients with acute femoro-iliac deep venous thrombosis (DVT).</AbstractText>Retrospective analysis of all patients treated with this modality at Gentofte Hospital until December 2003.</AbstractText>Forty-five consecutive patients treated between J... |
28,889 | Long-term mortality in patients with thrombosis of the inferior vena cava, iliac and femoral veins. | To assess the long-term mortality in patients with thrombosis of the vena cava, iliac and femoral veins.</AbstractText>Registry study.</AbstractText>Between 1992 and 2000, 212 consecutive patients with acute pelvic vein thrombosis diagnosed by duplex sonography were examined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to deter... |
28,890 | Endovascular management of acute deep vein thrombosis. | The goals of successful management of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) include relief of acute symptoms with restoration of venous patency, prevention of clot propagation and subsequent pulmonary embolism, and maintenance of venous valvular function. Valvular incompetence is the leading cause of postthrombotic syndrome (PTS)... |
28,891 | Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia: clinical manifestations and management strategies. | Thrombocytopenia is a relatively frequent and usually benign clinical complication of heparin therapy. However, some patients receiving heparin and heparin-based products experience an immune-mediated reaction due to the development of heparin-induced antibodies. This reaction leads to a highly specific and paradoxical... |
28,892 | Anticoagulants in the treatment of deep vein thrombosis. | Intravenous (IV) infusion of unfractionated heparin (UFH) followed by oral administration of warfarin remains the cornerstone of clinical treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Results from numerous clinical trials demonstrate that subcutaneously administered low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) is at least as effecti... |
28,893 | Diagnostic assessment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. | Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common disorder that can lead to substantial morbidity and mortality through the clinical manifestations of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Although rapid diagnosis and treatment are critical in preventing PE, mortality and major morbidity due to conditions such... |
28,894 | [Late thrombosis of a drug-eluting coronary stent after antiplatelet therapy discontinuation]. | We reported the late thrombosis of a drug-eluting coronary stent related to discontinuation of antiplatelet therapy for venous surgery of the right leg more than half and a year after its implantation. After this acute myocardial infarction, a cardiac assistance device has to be used as a bridge to transplantation beca... |
28,895 | Catheter fracture and cardiac migration--an unusual fracture site of totally implantable venous devices: report of two cases. | Totally implantable venous devices (TIVDs) are used increasingly in patients with cancers and other debilitating diseases requiring long-term chemotherapy, total parental nutrition, and fluid replacement. The TIVDs are surgically inserted and fixed in the soft tissues of the chest wall to prevent infection and accident... |
28,896 | Ximelagatran in the clinic: practical management of patients. | Several case studies are briefly introduced, followed by a description of the clinical problem from an epidemiological point of view. The evidence for established management strategies is reviewed and, finally, practical handling of the case is considered. |
28,897 | Treating patients with venous thromboembolism: initial strategies and long-term secondary prevention. | Therapy for venous thromboembolism (VTE) currently involves a minimum of 3 months of anticoagulation. After cessation of therapy, however, recurrent venous thrombosis occurs at rates of 6 to 9% per year. Clinical trials have demonstrated the benefits of extending anticoagulation beyond 3 months for the prevention of re... |
28,898 | Ximelagatran for the prevention of venous thromboembolism following elective hip or knee replacement surgery. | Patients undergoing major lower-extremity orthopedic surgery such as total hip replacement (THR) and total knee replacement (TKR) are at an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Routine prophylaxis is necessary to reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which may progress to potentially fatal pulmonary... |
28,899 | Mechanism of action of the oral direct thrombin inhibitor ximelagatran. | Thrombin plays a central role in thrombus formation through its conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin and activation of platelets as well as amplifying its own generation by feedback activation via factors V, VIII, and XI. Consequently, thrombin represents a logical and promising target for therapeutic interventions again... |
