Single-stage Pulmonary Vein Isolation Combined With Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Occluder Implantation in Patients With Recent Onset Ischemic Stroke and Atrial Fibrillation (PILOS-AF)
Summary: The project is a multicenter, open-label, randomized medical experiment, which was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of single-stage pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and implantation of left atrial appendage occluder (LAAO) in comparison with either isolated LAAO implantation or chronic therapy with non-vitamin K antagonists anticoagulants (NOAC) in patients with recent-onset ischemic str...
Transcatheter Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) Closure, Oral Anticoagulants or Antiplatelet Therapy After PFO-associated Stroke in Patients Between 60 and 80 Years Old : a Randomised Controlled Trial.
Summary: To assess whether PFO closure plus antiplatelet therapy is superior to antiplatelet therapy alone and whether oral anticoagulant therapy is superior to antiplatelet therapy to prevent stroke recurrence in patients aged 60 to 80 years with a PFO with large shunt (\> 20 microbubbles) or a PFO associated with an ASA (\> 10 mm), and an otherwise unexplained ischemic stroke.
Dabigatran vs. Oral Anti-Xa Inhibitors in S. Aureus Bacteremia
Summary: This is an open-label randomized controlled trial which will enroll patients with S. aureus bacteremia who are already taking oral anticoagulant medications (apixaban, edoxaban, or rivaroxaban) for an approved indication (stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation, prevention or treatment of venous thromboembolism). We will randomize patients to continue their existing medication or change to anothe...
Intravenous Thrombolytic Therapy in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients on Direct Oral Anticoagulants - A Prospective Multicenter Study
Summary: Direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) have emerged as safe and efficacious ischemic stroke prophylaxis for non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). All four DOACs - apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban, rivaroxaban - were associated with lower risks of major bleeding compared to warfarin. Listed as core essential medicines by the World Health Organization, DOAC prescriptions have been surging worldwide. In ...
Randomized Trial of Anticoagulation Plus Batroxobin for Acute Cerebral Venous Thrombosis (ABACVT)
Summary: A total of 72 patients meeting the diagnostic criteria for acute cerebral venous thrombosis were included in this study. A multi-center stratified randomization method was adopted, with the stratification factor being each participating center. There were three groups in total, and within each group, the experimental group and the control group were assigned in a 1:1 ratio. Finally, all the experi...
Anticoagulation for New-Onset Post-Operative Atrial Fibrillation After CABG
Summary: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness (prevention of thromboembolic events) and safety (major bleeding) of adding oral anticoagulation (OAC) to background antiplatelet therapy in patients who develop new-onset post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after isolated coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. All patients with a qualifying POAF event, who decline ra...
Anticoagulation for Stroke Prevention In Patients With Recent Episodes of Atrial Fibrillation Occurring Transiently With Stress - The ASPIRE-AF Trial
Summary: Multinational, investigator-initiated study of oral anticoagulation versus no anticoagulation for the prevention of stroke and other adverse cardiovascular events in patients with transient atrial fibrillation occurring transiently with stress and additional stroke risk factors.
The DISTINCT Trial: inDividual, Targeted thrombosIS Prophylaxis Versus the Standard 'One Size Fits All' Approach in Patients Undergoing Total hIp or Total kNee replaCemenT: a National, Multicenter, Randomized, Multi-arm, Open-label Trial.
Summary: After hip or knee replacement all patients receive a standardized treatment with blood thinners, this medication is called thrombosis prophylaxis. However, despite this standard treatment some individuals still develop venous thrombosis (VTE), while others experience bleeding. This indicates that not all patients have the same VTE risk following surgery. Individualizing the amount of thrombosis pr...
Treatment Outcomes of Direct Oral Anticoagulants in Cerebral Venous Thrombosis: A Prospective Observational Study in Vietnam
Summary: This prospective, single-arm observational cohort study aims to evaluate the real-world effectiveness and safety of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), specifically dabigatran or rivaroxaban, in patients with cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT). The study will be conducted at Bach Mai Hospital, a national tertiary stroke referral center in Hanoi, Vietnam. A minimum of 69 adults with radiologically co...
Incidence of Late Haemorrhage After Invasive Gastroenterological Endoscopic Manoeuvre in Patients Treated With Anticoagulants Compared to Non-anticoagulated Patients
Summary: Patients on oral anticoagulant therapy with vitamin K antagonists (AVKs; warfarin and acenocoumarol) and direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs; apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban and rivaroxaban), are advised to consider discontinuing treatment in anticipation of invasive manoeuvres. Guidelines and expert consensus recommend, in clinical conditions with a high risk of bleeding, to suspend oral anticoagula...
Preventing Stroke, Premature Death and Cognitive Decline in a Broader Community of Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Using Healthcare Data for Pragmatic Research: A Randomised Controlled Trial
Summary: The DaRe2 approach (healthcare Data for pragmatic clinical Research in the NHS - primary 2 secondary) is designed to operationalise efficient, nationwide, primary care approaches for randomised trials embedded within the UK National Health Service (NHS), providing automated screening, targeted patient enrolment and 'no-visit' follow-up through innovations in big data and technology solutions. DaRe...
THRomboprophylaxis in Individuals Undergoing Superficial endoVEnous Treatment (THRIVE) - a Multi-centre Assessor-blind Randomised-controlled Trial
Summary: Endovenous interventions are keyhole operations for varicose veins that are carried out from within the vein itself. Varicose veins are enlarged veins close to the surface of the skin. They are connected to the bigger deeper veins in the leg (known as deep veins). Because of this, operations to close the varicose veins can increase the chance of a blood clot forming in the deep veins. Blood clots ...
