Residual Thrombosis on Ultrasonography to Guide the Duration of Anticoagulation in Patients With Deep Venous Thrombosis: A Randomized Trial

TL;DR: In this article, a randomized trial was conducted to assess whether tailoring the duration of anticoagulation on the basis of the persistence of residual thrombi on ultrasonography reduces the rate of recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) compared with the administration of conventional fixed-duration treatment in adults with proximal DVT.

Prevalence and Clinical History of Incidental, Asymptomatic Pulmonary Embolism: A Meta-Analysis
Francesco Dentali,Walter Ageno,Cecilia Becattini,Luca Galli,Monica Gianni,Nicoletta Riva,Davide Imberti,Alessandro Squizzato,Achille Venco,Giancarlo Agnelli +9 more
TL;DR: The prevalence of incidental PE is clinically relevant and future studies are necessary to properly evaluate the clinical history of these patients, and to assess potential factors associated with incidental PE.

Dose escalation of low molecular weight heparin to manage recurrent venous thromboembolic events despite systemic anticoagulation in cancer patients
TL;DR: Cancer patients with recurrent VTE have a short median survival, and Escalating the dose of LMWH can be effective for treating cases that are resistant to standard, weight‐adjusted doses of LM WH or a VKA.

Deep vein thrombosis: a clinical review.
TL;DR: An algorithm combining pretest probability, D-dimer testing, and compression ultrasonography will guide the approach to making a diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis, a potentially dangerous condition with a myriad of risk factors.
Does the clinical presentation and extent of venous thrombosis predict likelihood and type of recurrence? A patient-level meta-analysis.
Trevor Baglin,James D. Douketis,Alberto Tosetto,Maura Marcucci,Mary Cushman,Paul A. Kyrle,G. Palareti,Daniela Poli,Robert Campbell Tait,Alfonso Iorio +9 more
TL;DR: While DVT and PE are manifestations of the same disease, the phenotypic expression is predetermined, patients presenting with PE are three times more likely to suffer recurrence as PE than patients presented with DVT.

Acute pulmonary embolism: clinical outcomes in the international cooperative pulmonary embolism registry (ICOPER)
TL;DR: Data from ICOPER provide rates and highlight adverse prognostic categories that will help in planning of future trials of high-risk PE patients and highlight significant prognostic factors associated with death.

Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin versus a Coumarin for the Prevention of Recurrent Venous Thromboembolism in Patients with Cancer
Agnes Y.Y. Lee,Mark Levine,Ross I. Baker,Chris Bowden,Ajay K. Kakkar,Martin H. Prins,Frederick R. Rickles,Jim A. Julian,Susan Haley,Michael J. Kovacs,Michael Gent +10 more
TL;DR: In patients with cancer and acute venous thromboembolism, dalteparin was more effective than an oral anticoagulant in reducing the risk of recurrent thrombosis without increasing therisk of bleeding.

Pharmacology and management of the vitamin K antagonists: American College of Chest Physicians Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines (8th Edition).
TL;DR: Guyatt et al. as mentioned in this paper presented the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) and provided specific management recommendations for the first 1 or 2 days for most individuals.

The long-term clinical course of acute deep venous thrombosis.
Paolo Prandoni,Anthonie W. A. Lensing,Alberto Cogo,S. Cuppini,Sabina Villalta,Mariarosa Carta,Anna M. Cattelan,P. Polistena,Enrico Bernardi,Martin H. Prins +9 more
TL;DR: The clinical course of a first episode of symptomatic deep venous thrombosis in a large consecutive series of patients who had long-term follow-up was assessed and the potential risk factors for these three outcomes were evaluated.

Antithrombotic therapy for venous thromboembolic disease.
TL;DR: It is shown that patients with symptomatic proximal DVT may benefit from fitted compression stockings for at least 3 months to reduce the incidence of the postthrombotic syndrome, and patients with VTE who receive adequate anticoagulation generally do not die of recurrent disease.
