Prospective Observational Pilot Study of LMWH Versus UFH as ECMO Anticoagulation in Lung Transplantation
The aim of this observational pilot study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) compared to unfractionated heparin (UFH) as anticoagulation in perioperative ECMO during bilateral lung transplantation. The main question this study seeks to answer is: Does LMWH provide a safe and effective alternative to …
The Origin and Role of Thromboembolism in the Pathogenesis of Ischaemic Stroke
Ischaemic stroke is usually due to occlusion of a cerebral artery by thrombus. However, it is often difficult to identify the source of thrombus, or to confirm thrombus as a cause of ischaemic stroke. Moreover, it is debated whether thrombosis plays any role in certain types of stroke such as …
Extracellular Vesicle Micro RNA Profiling in Congenital Heart Disease: Fetal-Maternal Regulation in Neonatal Thrombosis
Newborns with congenital heart disease (CHD) are at increased risk of developing postpartum and postoperative blood clots after cardiac surgery. The molecular mechanisms that are responsible for the clotting profile predisposing children to blood clots in the early stages of life are currently not well described. The goal of this …
Usefulness of Thromboelastography as a Predictor of Prognosis in Patients Undergoing Surgery for Glial Tumors and of the Risk of Postoperative Thromboembolic Disease (GliTEM)
The objective of our study is to investigate the clinical significance of thromboelastometric values in the development of thrombotic events and survival in patients with glial tumors, to reduce thromboembolic complications and optimize oncological treatment.
International Registry of Thrombotic APS Patients Treated With Direct Oral Anticoagulants
This registry, currently being established will ensure consistency of data collection and provide safety information in non high-risk APS patients currently on DOACs.
The Effect of ACT and Tranexamic Acid on Bleeding in Cardiac Surgery
The goal of this clinical trial is to the dose effect of tranexamic acid and the level of ACT on bleeding in adult cardiac surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does higher dose of tranexamic acid reduce the amount of bleeding and blood transfusion? Does lower ACT …
Study of the Long-term Effects of P2Y12 Inhibitor Monotherapy and Coagulation Markers After Percutaneous Coronary Angioplasty.
Patients who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are commonly treated with antiplatelet therapy to prevent stent thrombosis and recurrence of events. After an initial period of dual antiplatelet therapy, long-term treatment with a single P2Y12 inhibitor (such as clopidogrel, ticagrelor, or prasugrel) is often prescribed. However, the optimal drug and …
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Imaging of Thrombosis
The purpose of the study is to evaluate a new radiotracer called 64Cu-FBP8 for PET-MR imaging of thrombosis. The tracer has the potential of detecting thrombosis anywhere in the body, for instance in the left atrial appendage of patients with atrial fibrillation, and thereby may provide a non-invasive alternative to …
Non-invasive Coronary Thrombus Imaging to Define These Cause of Acute Myocardial Infarction
We now have very sensitive blood tests that can pick up damage to the heart and find patients who have had a heart attack. However, whilst this is welcome, it does not identify what causes the heart attack and can sometimes pick up other conditions that cause a strain on …
Thrombin Generation Parameters and Bleeding in Patients Treated With Anticoagulants for Cancer Associated Thrombosis
Pulmonary embolism, the second leading cause of death in cancer patients, is effectively treated with anticoagulants. In patients with cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT), the use of anticoagulants is associated with 10 to 15% of bleeding in the first 6 months. Most of the guidelines propose to integrate the bleeding risk in …
