OC-01 - Clinical history of cancer patients with isolated distal deep vein thrombosis: a multicenter cohort study

2016

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…

Antithrombotic treatment and outcomes of splanchnic vein thrombosis in an international prospective registry: Results of 2-year follow-up

2014

Abstract Background: Little information is available on the long-term clinical outcome of patients with splanchnic vein thrombosis (SVT). We aimed to assess incidence rates of bleeding, recurrence, and mortality in a large prospective cohort of SVT patients after a 2-year follow-up. Methods: Consecutive SVT patients were enrolled in a multicenter international registry, from 2008 to 2012. Information was gathered on baseline characteristics, risk factors and therapeutic strategies. Clinical outcomes (major bleeding; vascular events, defined as venous or arterial thrombosis, and mortality) during follow-up were collected and reviewed by a Central Adjudication Committee. Major bleeding was de…

Variation of platelet function in clinical phenotypes of acute venous thromboembolism – Results from the GMP‐VTE project

2022

Background The role of platelets in the pathogenesis of venous thromboembolism (VTE) is receiving increasing attention; however, limited information is available on platelet function in the acute phase of the disease. Objective To characterize platelet function according to VTE phenotypes. Patients/Methods In total, 154 subjects (isolated pulmonary embolism [iPE], n = 28; isolated deep vein thrombosis [iDVT], n = 35; DVT+PE, n = 91) were included. In this study platelet function analyzer (PFA)-200, light transmission aggregometry (LTA), thrombin generation (TG) in presence (PRP) and absence (PFP) of platelets and platelet flow cytometry were investigated. LASSO regression was used to select…

Superficial venous thrombosis: role of inherited deficiency of natural anticoagulants in extension to deep veins

2009

AIM: Superficial venous thrombosis (SVT) has been considered for a long time a limited clinical condition of low importance, but this approach has changed in recent years, when several studies demonstrated that extension to deep veins occurs in 7.3 to 44% of patients, with high prevalence of pulmonary embolism. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of inherited deficiency of natural coagulation inhibitors in patients suffering from SVT in both normal and varicose veins, and to understand their role in extension to deep veins. METHODS: The study included 83 patients with SVT, without clinically obvious risk factors. Ultrasound examination was performed, and deficiencies of Pro…
