API-CAT: Extended Anticoagulant Therapy With Reduced-Dose Apixaban Noninferior to Full-Dose in Patients With Active Cancer and VTE

American College of Cardiology

Extended anticoagulant therapy with a reduced-dose of apixaban was noninferior to extended therapy with a full-dose of apixaban in preventing recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with active cancer and proximal deep-vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, based on findings from the API-CAT trial presented at ACC.25

Do blood flow patterns in the left atriums differ between left upper lobectomy and other lobectomies? A computational study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Background Left atrial (LA) hemodynamics after lung lobectomies with pulmonary vein (PV) resection is widely understood to be a risk factor for LA thrombosis. The present study compared flow patterns in the LA after LUL with the flow patterns of other lobectomies using computational simulations.

Upper extremity phlegmasia cerulea dolens complicating supra vena cava embolism in a cervical cancer patient: case report

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Phlegmasia cerulea dolens (PCD) is a rare yet severe complication of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), characterized by a high amputation rate and mortality. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial in managing this condition. PCD predominantly affects the lower extremities rather than the upper extremities.
