Women with congenital factor VII deficiency: clinical phenotype and treatment options from two international studies
Introduction A paucity of data exists on the incidence, diagnosis and treatment of bleeding in women with inherited factor VII (FVII) deficiency. Aim Here we report results of a comprehensive analysis from two international registries of patients with inherited FVII deficiency, depicting the clinical picture of this disorder in women and describing any gender-related differences. Methods A comprehensive analysis of two fully compatible, international registries of patients with inherited FVII deficiency (International Registry of Factor VII deficiency, IRF7; Seven Treatment Evaluation Registry, STER) was performed. Results In our cohort (N = 449; 215 male, 234 female), the higher prevalence…
Clinical course of isolated distal deep vein thrombosis in patients with active cancer: a multicenter cohort study
Essentials Isolated distal deep vein thrombosis (IDDVT) is frequently associated with cancer. No study has specifically evaluated the long-term clinical course of cancer-associated IDDVT. Patients with cancer-associated IDDVT are at very high risk of symptomatic recurrence and death. We observed low rates of major bleeding during anticoagulation. SummaryBackground Although isolated distal deep vein thrombosis (IDDVT) is frequently associated with cancer, no study has specifically evaluated the long-term clinical course of IDDVT in this setting. Aim To provide data on the rate of recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE), major bleeding events and death in IDDVT patients with active cancer. Pat…
Residual vein obstruction in patients diagnosed with acute isolated distal deep vein thrombosis associated with active cancer.
After acute proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT) the thrombotic mass decreases, especially during the first months of anticoagulation. The persistence of residual vein obstruction (RVO) may predict future recurrence in patients with cancer-associated DVT. We aimed to evaluate the proportion of patients with RVO after an episode of cancer associated isolated distal DVT (IDDVT), to identify variables associated with RVO, and to provide initial evidence of its association with recurrent VTE. We performed a post-hoc analysis of a multicenter cohort study of patients with isolated cancer-associated acute IDDVT. We included patients who underwent a control ultrasonography at the end of the anticoa…
OC-01 - Clinical history of cancer patients with isolated distal deep vein thrombosis: a multicenter cohort study
Introduction Isolated distal deep vein thrombosis (IDDVT) accounts for one-fourth to one-half of all deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the leg. Patients with IDDVT are frequently treated for a shorter period of time compared to patients with proximal DVT and/or pulmonary embolism (PE) due to a perceived lower risk of recurrence. About 10-20% of patients with venous thromboembolic events (VTEs) have concomitant cancer. Guidelines recommend long-term anticoagulant treatment in this group of patients due to their high risk of VTE recurrence. Unfortunately, information on the clinical history of IDDVT patients is limited and, to date, no study has evaluated the long-term risk of VTE recurrence in I…

Clinical course of patients with symptomatic isolated superficial vein thrombosis: the ICARO follow‐up study
Essentials Late sequelae of isolated superficial vein thrombosis (iSVT) have rarely been investigated. We studied 411 consecutive outpatients with acute iSVT with a median follow-up of three years. Male sex and cancer are risk factors for future deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. Patients without cancer appear to be at a negligible risk for death. SUMMARY Background Studies of long-term thromboembolic complications and death following acute isolated superficial vein thrombosis (iSVT) of the lower extremities are scarce. Objectives To investigate the course of iSVT in the setting of an observational multicenter study. Methods We collected longitudinal data of 411 consecutive outpati…
A clinical score to rule out the concomitant presence of deep vein thrombosis in patients presenting with superficial vein thrombosis: The ICARO study
Superficial vein thrombosis (SVT) is commonly encountered in clinical practice. Recent studies have suggested that the concomitant presence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) at the time of SVT diagnosis is not uncommon, thus increasing the interest on this disease. Whether this coexistence is predicted by specific risk factors remains unknown.To evaluate potential risk factors for DVT coexistence in patients presenting with acute objectively diagnosed SVT of the lower limbs and to develop a simple score entirely based on clinical variables to define the pre-test probability of DVT in these patients.A multicenter, retrospective cohort study on SVT patients was conducte…
