DVT: A New Era in Anticoagulation Therapy DVT: A New Era in Anticoagulant Therapy
March is deep vein thrombosis awareness month in the United States. To mark this event, this issue of Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology contains a series of reviews on new anticoagulants that either are in development or have been approved for clinical use. Particularly exciting are the new oral inhibitors of thrombin (dabigatran etexilate) and factor Xa (rivaroxaban). Thrombos...
متن کاملLeft Atrial Appendage Thrombus Despite Anticoagulation.
The American College of Cardiology Foundation/American Heart Association task force on practice guidelines recommend therapeutic anticoagulation for at least 3 weeks prior to cardioversion in patients with atrial fibrillation of 48-hour duration or longer, or when the duration of atrial fibrillation is unknown. This case report demonstrates the presence of thrombi in the left atrial appendage d...
متن کاملA rare case of bilateral renal artery thrombosis in a patient with atrial fibrillation despite appropriate anticoagulation.
708 filtration rate of 72 ml/min/1.73 m2. The international normalized ratio on admission was within the therapeutic range (2.16). Neither microscopic hematuria nor microalbuminuria was present. A computed tomography (CT) angiogram of the abdomen demonstrated several thrombi within the segmental branches of both renal arteries, with associated areas of ischemia (FIGURE 1A and 1B). Both renal tr...
متن کاملProsthetic valve thrombosis despite seemingly-adequate anticoagulation: the dangers of transient lapses in anticoagulation.
We report a 19-year-old woman with thrombosis of a prosthetic mitral valve that was most likely due to a short dip in anticoagulation in the days preceding the event. Interestingly, at presentation the patient was super-therapeutic, most likely a result of hepatic congestion as the heart began to fail, creating an illusion of thrombosis despite adequate anticoagulation.
متن کاملPoor prognosis in warfarin-associated intracranial hemorrhage despite anticoagulation reversal.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Anticoagulant-associated intracranial hemorrhage (aaICH) presents with larger hematoma volumes, higher risk of hematoma expansion, and worse outcome than spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage. Prothrombin complex concentrates (PCCs) are indicated for urgent reversal of anticoagulation after aaICH. Given the lack of randomized controlled trial evidence of efficacy, and the p...
