New Diagnostic Algorithm May Rule Out Deep Vein Thrombosis, Reduce Ultrasound Imaging Need
A novel diagnostic algorithm was able to safely rule out DVT in patients visiting an emergency department, thereby reducing the need for ultrasound imaging.
Thrombosis
Thromboelastography for Patients With Slow-Flow Vascular Abnormalities
In minor procedures, coagulation differences may not be clinically significant to determine bleeding or thrombotic periprocedure complication risks.
Serum Antiphospholipid, Phospholipid-Binding Protein Antibodies in COVID-19
Prothrombotic autoantibodies, similar to those with antiphospholipid syndrome, appear to be elevated in hospitalized patients with COVID-19.
Red Blood Cell Transfusion Not Independent Risk Factor for Thrombosis
New research has not found RBC transfusion to be an independent risk factor for venous or arterial thrombosis in hospitalized patients.
Notable Variation Exists in the Treatment of Serious VTE Events in Pediatric Leukemia
There might be notable variations among hematology, oncology, and bone marrow transplant practitioners when treating thrombotic events in children with leukemia.
Thromboelastography and Turbidimetry Synergistically Characterize Clot Formation
Study results suggest that TEG and turbidimetry measure clot formation in separate ways and should be used synergistically.
Early Diagnosis of Catheter-Related Arterial Thrombosis in Infants Is Critical for Complete Clot Resolution
Researchers reported a safe and effective treatment strategy to prevent clot progression in neonates and children with catheter-related arterial thrombosis.
De-escalation of Prasugrel Therapy After PCI May Reduce Clinical Outcomes in Patients With ACS
Dose de-escalation of prasugrel 1 month after percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with acute coronary syndrome was found to lower the risk for adverse clinical outcomes.
Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura: Expert Recommendations, Good Practice Statements for Critical Care
TTP is a rare disease that clinicians may not often treat; however, it is important to be aware of new developments for the treatment of this patient population.
Comparing Imaging Modalities for the Detection of LV Thrombi, LAA Thrombosis
TTE was found to have a fair sensitivity and good specificity compared with delayed enhancement CMR for the identification of LV thrombi.
