We investigated the efficacy of rivaroxaban, an orally active direct factor Xa inhibitor, in preventing venous thrombosis after total knee arthroplasty.In this randomized, double-blind trial, 2531 patients who were to undergo arthroplasty received either oral 10 mg once daily, beginning 6 8 hours surgery, or subcutaneous enoxaparin, 40 12 before surgery. The primary outcome was composite any deep-vein thrombosis, nonfatal pulmonary embolism, death from cause within 13 17 days Secondary...
Venous thromboembolism (VTE), which includes deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), occurs in ∼1 to 2 individuals per 1000 each year, corresponding ∼300 000 600 events the United States annually.These evidence-based guidelines from American Society of Hematology (ASH) intend support patients, clinicians, others decisions about treatment VTE.ASH formed a multidisciplinary guideline panel balanced minimize potential bias conflicts interest.

In patients with idiopathic deep venous thrombosis, continuing anticoagulant therapy beyond three months is associated a reduced incidence of recurrent thrombosis during the period therapy. Whether this benefit persists after discontinued controversial.
About 20% of patients with unprovoked venous thromboembolism have a recurrence within 2 years after the withdrawal oral anticoagulant therapy. Extending anticoagulation prevents recurrences but is associated increased bleeding. The benefit aspirin for prevention recurrent unknown.
Whether an episode of venous thromboembolism (VTE) was unprovoked or provoked by environmental (or acquired) risk factor and, if it provoked, whether the provoking transient persistent, has important prognostic and treatment implications 1.Iorio A.

Early hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is a complication of ischemic stroke but its effect on patient outcome unclear. The aims this study were to assess: (1) the rate early HT in patients admitted for stroke, (2) correlation between and functional at 3 months, (3) risk factors HT.Consecutive with included prospective 4 centers. was assessed by CT examination performed day 5+/-2 after onset. Study outcomes 3-month mortality or disability. Disability using modified Rankin score (> = indicating...
Background: The optimal duration of oral anticoagulant treatment after a first episode pulmonary embolism remains uncertain. Objective: To evaluate the long-term clinical benefit extending 3-month course therapy to 6 months (pulmonary associated with temporary risk factors) or 1 year (idiopathic embolism) in patients embolism. Design: Multicenter randomized study independent, blinded assessment outcome events. Setting: 19 Italian hospitals. Patients: 326 who had 3 without experiencing...
GLORIA-AF (Global Registry on Long-Term Oral Antithrombotic Treatment in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation) is a prospective, global registry program describing antithrombotic treatment patterns patients newly diagnosed nonvalvular atrial fibrillation at risk of stroke. Phase 2 began when dabigatran, the first non–vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant (NOAC), became available. This study sought to describe phase baseline data and compare these pre-NOAC era collected during 1. During 2,...
