چکیده
To study the pathogenesis of in vivo thrombus formation and to evaluate novel preventive or therapeutic strategies, animal models of venous thrombosis have been in use for more than 50 years. In the past decades numerous animal models of venous thrombosis have been developed and have been applied for a variety of objectives and mostly without certain predictive value for the relevance to human venous thrombosis. The Subcommittee on Animal, Cellular, and Molecular Models of Thrombosis and Haemostasis of the Scientific and Standardization Committee of the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis decided to systematically review the various animal models of venous thrombosis and to analyze the contribution of these models to the study of the pathogenesis and treatment of venous thrombosis. This manuscript summarizes the results of this analysis and it draws some conclusions on the appropriate use of animal models for venous thrombosis.

Limitations of the laboratory monitoring of heparin therapy. Scientific and Standardization Committee Communications: on behalf of the Control of Anticoagulation Subcommittee of the Scientific and Standardization Committee of the International Society of Thrombosis and Haemostasis.
Heparin is the most widely used anticoagulant for the prevention and initial treatment of venous thromboembolism, for haemodialysis and cardiopulmonary bypass procedures and, with aspirin, for the management of acute coronary syndromes. In venous thrombosis and coronary disease low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) have been demonstrated to be at least as effective and safe as unfractionated he...

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world [1]. Risk factors for DVT include major surgery, immobilization, trauma, and cancer, among others [1]. Many mouse models of thrombosis have been used to study mechanisms of thrombosis, including those involving small and large veins. In this report from the Animal Models Subcommittee of the ISTH, w...

Background: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is one of the main causes of hospital mortality which can easily be prevented. Three para clinical methods are used to confirm the diagnosis of DVT, which include D-dimer test, venous color Doppler ultrasonography and venography. This study has focused on the prevalence of confirmed DVT in lower limbs based on venous color Doppler ultrason...
