Patients with lung cancer experience elevated risk of venous thromboembolism. Cancer patients with thrombosis have a shorter life expectancy and the occurrence of VTE worsens the quality of life and may delay, interrupt, or completely halt the cancer therapy. In a large cohort of lung cancer patients we monitored the incidence of venous thromboembolism and we identified groups of patients with ...
Recent studies have shown an increased risk of arterial and venous vascular diseases in HIV patients, pulmonary thromboembolism being one of them. HIV-infected individuals may have procoagulants predisposing them to thromboembolism. Patients with thromboembolism may have a clinical presentation mimicking common opportunistic infections. It is important to consider pulmonary embolism in the diff...
in pregnancy include weight over 80 kg, family or personal history of thrombosis, and thrombophilia. Venous thromboembolism during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of future venous thromboembolism. Almost two-thirds of women with venous thromboembolism during pregnancy develop deep-vein insufficiency in the affected leg, a rate substantially higher than would be expected after DVT...
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to stratify plastic surgery patients into venous thromboembolism risk categories; identify patients at highest risk for venous thromboembolism; and quantify rates of postoperative all-cause mortality, venous thromboembolism, and hematoma/bleeding on different forms of thromboprophylaxis. Furthermore, this study aimed to determine the compliance and avera...
OBJECTIVE To review cases of venous thromboembolism (VTE) at UHWI from 1999-2004, to identify methods of diagnosis, risk factors and to evaluate differences between survivors and fatalities. METHODS Patients coded with the diagnosis of thromboembolism at the University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI) from 1999-2004 were identified. The medical records were reviewed to determine the prevale...
CONTEXT In patients with suspected lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT), compression ultrasound (CUS) is typically the initial test to confirm or exclude DVT. Patients with an initial negative CUS result often require repeat CUS after 5 to 7 days. Whole-leg CUS may exclude proximal and distal DVT in a single evaluation. OBJECTIVE To determine the risk of venous thromboembolism after wit...
INTRODUCTION Rapid diagnosis and treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary thromboembolism reduce mortality and morbidity. The aim of this study is to investigate delays in treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary thromboembolism and related factor in a developing country. MATERIALS AND METHODS We prospectively investigated 353 patients with diagnosis deep vein thrombosis and/or ...
BACKGROUND D-Dimer, a cross-linked fibrin degradation product, has a high sensitivity in patients with suspected venous thrombosis. Traditional latex D-dimer assays, however, have not been sufficiently sensitive to exclude venous thromboembolism. METHODS To determine the clinical utility of a latex D-dimer assay (MDA D-Dimer; Organon Teknika Corporation, Durham, NC) in patients with suspected...
BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown an association between impaired kidney function, assessed by cystatin C-based estimated glomerular filtration rate, and venous thromboembolism. The aim of this study was to investigate whether serum cystatin C was associated with a risk of venous thromboembolism among subjects with normal kidney function in a prospective population-based study. DESIGN AN...
INTRODUCTION Venous thromboembolism is a multifactorial disease defined by multiple interactions between genetic and acquired risk factors. After coronary heart disease and stroke, venous thromboembolism is the most common cause of cardiovascular death and disability. MATERIAL AND METHODS In order to investigate the clinical characteristics of first venous thromboembolism, 447 women younger t...
