Using Neural Networks to Assess Risk for Deep Vein Thrombosis
The neural network developed in this study yielded a false-negative rate of 0.22%.
Deep Vein Thrombosis
No Association Found Between Locations of Venous Thromboembolism and Occult Cancer
An analysis of 2300 patients found similar prevalence of abdominal, pelvic, and thoracic cancer in patients with deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.
Lack of Thromboprophylactic Benefit With Rivaroxaban in Ambulatory Patients With Cancer
Patients receiving rivaroxaban did not experience a statistically significant decrease in thrombotic events compared with patients receiving placebo.
Thromboprophylaxis May Not Benefit Patients With Advanced Cancer in Palliative Care
Thromboprophylactic treatment and serum albumin levels were not found to be associated with deep vein thrombosis incidence.
Upper Extremity Deep Vein Thrombosis May Be Linked to Post-Thrombotic Syndrome
Researchers conducted a systematic literature review to characterize the complications experienced by patients with upper extremity deep vein thrombosis.
Anticoagulant Therapies in Patients With Iliofemoral Deep Vein Thrombosis
No differences were observed in patency rates or incidence of post-thrombotic syndrome in patients treated with rivaroxaban or a vitamin K antagonist.
Management of Venous Thrombosis in Unusual Sites
The incidence, pathophysiology, provoking factors, and recommended treatments for several types of unusual thrombosis were summarized in a review article.
VTE Increases Risk for Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension
A number of risk factors were associated with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, including, age >70 years, female gender, and pulmonary embolism at first venous thromboembolism.
Deep Venous Thrombosis Ultrasound Protocol Recommendations
The Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound has endorsed recommendations regarding ultrasound imaging test protocols for patients with suspected deep venous thrombosis.
Comparative Recurrence Risk of Isolated SVT, Proximal DVT Post-AC Discontinuation
Incidence risk is lower with first superficial vein thrombosis after stopping anticoagulant therapy compared to those with proximal deep vein thrombosis.
