The first case of novel corona virus disease (COVID-19) was reported in China and undoubtedly today this has rapidly crossed borders, infecting people throughout the world. There are heaps complications related to COVID-19 namely acute respiratory failure, liver kidney injury, bacterial fungal infections, septic shock. Vascular thrombosis is another burden that pilling on load its complications...

Background:Suspicion that the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused venous thromboembolism (VTE).

Cancer has the potential to induce hypercoagulable states. On the other hand, venous thromboembolism may be the harbinger of an occult cancer, may represent a complication of known malignant disease or complicate hospitalization, surgery or various systemic treatments. The importance of venous thromboembolism in patients with cancer is often underestimated resulting in under-diagnosis, which ma...

Venous thromboembolism is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. In recent years, growing awareness has led to the development of strategies to prevent venous thromboembolism in individuals admitted to hospital who are deemed to be at high risk. However, there remains a considerable degree of uncertainty over whether these strategies are of overall benefit and there are few published st...

Pancreatic cancer is a hypercoagulable condition, and venous thromboembolism affects up to 17% to 57% of pancreatic cancer patients. Initiating chemotherapy further increases the risk. For cancer patients initiating chemotherapy, there is currently no approved treatment for the primary prevention of venous thromboembolism risk. The authors summarize the two abstracts (#151 and #284) presented a...

The optimal characteristics of pneumatic compression for mechanical prophylaxis of thromboembolism after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are not known. Our study compared two methods of calf compression, with the hypothesis that the device which provided a larger increase in peak venous velocity would produce a lower rate of thromboembolism. We performed a prospective, randomised study on 423 pat...

Annexin A5 (A5) forms 2-dimensional crystals over phospholipid bilayers, blocking their availability for coagulation reactions. Recently, human antiphospholipid (aPL) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have been demonstrated by atomic force microscopy (AFM) to disrupt this crystallization and accelerate coagulation. We therefore performed a study with small, well-defined groups of patients to investi...

In this review, we analyze data from randomized trials in which low molecular weight heparin was compared with unfractionated heparin, both to estimate the treatment effect of low molecular weight heparin in the initial treatment of venous thromboembolism and to evaluate the effect of the varied proportion of included cancer patients (6% to 22.7%) on the incidence of outcome events (recurrence ...
