Reduced Calf Muscle Pump Function Linked With Venous Thromboembolism Risk, Mortality
Researchers sought to determine whether patients with reduced calf muscle pump function may be at an increased risk for venous thromboembolism.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Anticoagulation Ineffective for Patients With Isolated Distal Deep Vein Thrombosis
Researchers sought to determine whether anticoagulation would be effective at preventing PE for patients with id-DVT.
No Difference in Venous Thromboembolism Based on Venous Injury Treatment With Repair or Ligation
Researchers sought to determine whether there was a difference between venous repairs or ligation in rates of DVT or PE in patients with lower extremity venous injury.
von Willebrand Factor Plasma Levels May Affect Future Venous Thromboembolism Risk
A population-based analysis suggested that plasma levels of von Willebrand factor may be a potential biomarker for the future risk of incident venous thromboembolism.
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.
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.
Venous Thromboembolism Risk With Orthopedic Surgery in Thrombophilia
Patients with thrombophilia demonstrate an elevated risk for venous thromboembolism after undergoing orthopedic surgery.
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.
ASH 2020 Guidelines on Venous Thromboembolism Management
The American Society of Hematology released evidence-based guidelines for the treatment of DVT and PE in patients without cancer.
Deep Vein Thrombosis Detection in Patients With Hemophilia A Undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty
A prospective, single-center study aimed to determine the prevalence of DVT after TKA among patients with hemophilia A and found that contrast-enhanced CT led to better detection compared with ultrasound.
