Background: - To understand diseases of the retina and the eye, information is needed about people with and without such diseases. Researchers want to study these people and follow them over time. They also want to study body tissues and blood to understand the nature of eye disease. Studying genes, cells, and tissues may help them understand why some people get eye problems and others do not, or why some peo...
Summary: Venous thromboembolism (VTE), which includes deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism, is a common cardiovascular disease associated with significant morbidity ranging from painful leg swelling, chest pain, shortness of breath, and even death. About 50% of all VTE events occur as a result of a current or recent hospital admission for surgery or acute medical illness. Hospital-acquired VTE...
Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) includes the abnormal clotting of blood in a deep vein of the upper or lower limbs (deep vein thrombosis) that may travel to and block a blood vessel in the lung (pulmonary embolism). Some people with sickle cell disease (SCD)-a red blood cell disorder-seem to be at greater risk for developing these blood clots. Researchers want to study the blood of people with SCD an...
Summary: This study will collect information about markers of inflammation, blood clotting and blood vessel function in HIV-infected adults and healthy volunteers. Biomarkers are biological indicators that have been associated with disease. Certain markers of inflammation, blood clotting, and blood vessel function have been associated with risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and death. One marker, calle...
Summary: In this cohort study, the investigators will investigate the concentration of biomarkers, e.g., inflammatory, anti-inflammatory, immunological, senescent, biochemical ratio-calculations and blood cell type among first time lower extremity deep venous thrombosis patients with and without SARS-CoV-2 infection and long term complications with a 2-year follow-up.
Summary: Migration of a thrombus in the pulmonary circulation is the leading cause of pulmonary embolism (PE). It can be prevented mechanically by implanting a vena cava filter (VCF) in the inferior vena cava. The implation of a VCF is indicated for patients with acute PE and a contraindication to anticoagulation, with an acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT) without PE and a contraindication to anticoagulation...
Summary: The goal of the CRETE Studies is to investigate the newly identified age-dependent heterogeneity in the efficacy of enoxaparin in reducing the risk of central venous catheter-associated deep venous thrombosis in critically ill children.
Summary: Patients with clinically significant portal hypertension allocated to implantation of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) at the Department of Medicine II of the University Medical Center Freiburg, Germany will be offered to participate in this prospective observational trial. Clinical and laboratory as well as outcome parameters will be assessed before and within the first 12 m...
Summary: Рrospective single-centre randomized open-label study for comparison three modes of treatment for thrombosis of varicose great saphena vein - standard medical with fondaparinux sodium for 45 days, endovenous laser ablation close to the saphenofemoral junction with a 7-day course of anticoagulation and endovenous laser ablation close to the saphenofemoral junction without the use of anticoagulants.
Summary: This study will evaluate the effects on venous blood flow of the investigational device, OsciPulse system, which is an external intermittent limb compression device. The study will enroll healthy human subjects who will have their deep venous blood flow measured by vascular ultrasound during immobility, use of the OsciPulse system, and use of two reference vascular compression devices. Our hypothe...
Summary: Anticoagulants influence either coagulation, inflammation and inflammatory processes in deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Acute DVT cause an inflammatory response that may persist for a long period of time. There is a need to describe patterns of change in serum biomarker levels after acute DVT, and explore the association between trajectory biological patterns and clinical evolution in the era of vario...
Summary: This study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial of an interventional strategy using the ClotTriever System to achieve and maintain vessel patency (ClotTriever Intervention Arm) versus conservative medical management using anticoagulation therapy alone (Conservative Medical Management Arm) in the treatment of subjects with symptomatic unilateral iliofemoral DVT. The study will...
