Anticoagulation Management of Distal Deep Vein Thrombosis in Cancer Patients

American College of Cardiology

Active cancer is a strong risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE) events and recurrent events following discontinuation of anticoagulation therapy, and cancer patients are also at a heightened risk for bleeding complications related to anticoagulation treatment.

A nomogram model to predict non-retrieval of short-term retrievable inferior vena cava filters

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Age, proximal and distal deep vein thrombosis (DVT) vs. distal DVT, active cancer, history of long-term immobilization, VTE was detected in the intensive care unit, active/recurrent bleeding, IVC thrombosis, and history of venous thromboembolism were independent predictive risk factors for non-retrieval of filters.

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.

Abstract 136: The Incidence of Newly Diagnosed Cancer After a First-Ever Episode of Cerebral Venous Thrombosis: A Registry- and Population-Based Cohort Study

Stroke Journal

Introduction:Active cancer is a known risk factor for cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), but it is unknown whether CVT is also associated with occult cancer. Patients with a history of cancer and patients diagnosed with cancer during admission for the index CVT were excluded. after 10 years.
