introduction: cerebral vein thrombosis is a rare complication of nephrotic syndrome (ns).we report a known case of ns with hemorrhagic thrombosis. case report: a boy with previous history of ns was admitted with headache and decrease of level of consciousness and his brain images were revealed hemorrhagic thrombosis conclusions: cerebral vein thrombosis must be considered in patients with histo...

Several hereditary disorders affecting coagulation factors have been identified as prothrombotic risk factors. Recently, the prothrombin 20210 A/G mutation has been identified as a second important polymorphism involved in venous thrombosis. This article reviews all published information about this new procoagulant mutation. Our group has been involved in a number of studies about the role and ...

BACKGROUND Patients with the lupus anticoagulant (LA) are at an increased risk of thrombotic events, which in turn increase the risk of death. Understanding the determinants of thrombotic risk in patients with LA may pave the way towards targeted thromboprophylaxis. In the Vienna Lupus Anticoagulant and Thrombosis Study (LATS), we systematically evaluate risk factors for thrombotic events in pa...

thrombophilia increases the incidence of pulmonary thrombosis significantly. various hereditary and acquired factors are known for thromboembolism. the hereditary factors are two common genetic autosomal mutations including factor v leidan mutation and prothrombin gene mutation. a descriptive- analytical design was conducted on 60 patients with thromboembolism who met the inclusion criteria. tw...

BACKGROUND Pump thrombosis in durable continuous-flow pumps is a barrier to long-term mechanical circulatory support. Earlier Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support (INTERMACS) data identified an increasing risk of pump thrombosis in recent years with the HeartMate II (HMII) left ventricular assist device. The current analysis examines pump thrombosis in the patient ...

BACKGROUND Fistula thrombosis in patients on maintenance hemodialysis is an important morbidity factor. Arterial or venous thrombotic events have been described as complications in patients on regular hemodialysis. This study was designed to evaluate the risk factors for arteriovenous fistula thrombosis. METHODS One hundred and seventy-one patients with arteriovenous fistula on maintenance he...

VENOUS THROMBOSIS (VT), INcluding deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolus (PE), is a common disorder with an incidence of about 1 to 2 per 1000 person-years among adults. The risk of VT is higher with older age, in men compared with women, in blacks compared with whites, and in obese individuals, but VT is generally not associated with other classic atherogenic risk factors. Postmenopa...

Background: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is an important life-threatening complication in patients having orthopedic surgery and its risk factors are still debatable. 
 Aim: This study aimed to determine preoperative postoperative DVT risk, their effects on scores staying orthopedics traumatology clinic.
 Method: descriptive, cross-sectional was performed with 244 patients. Data were ga...

Prevention, management, and treatment of venous thromboembolism requires understanding of the epidemiology and associated risk factors, particularly in recognizing populations warranting prophylaxis, in evaluating patients with high risk situations, and in determining the duration of anticoagulation required to minimize recurrent thrombosis and to avoid postthrombotic syndrome. The present pape...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES The occurrence of and risk factors for venous thrombosis (VT) complicating hospital admission in unselected medical inpatients have not been widely studied. PATIENTS AND METHODS In a 400-bed teaching hospital we identified all cases of VT complicating hospital admission between September 2000 and September 2002 using discharge codes and chart review. Controls were random...
