Role of Inflammation in Modulating Thrombotic-Fibrinolytic Balance in Venous Thrombosis.

چکیده
Although no doubt an oversimplification, in many respects, a significant portion of cardiovascular trials in the late 1990s and early 2000s demonstrated that whether we do not clot we do not die as long as we do not bleed to death. These trials were focused on novel anticoagulants targeting platelets and thrombin-mediated thrombosis. These studies focused on potent anticoagulants that ultimately demonstrated limited efficacy because they were not targeted at the disease or the disease process. Rather, they were systemic anticoagulants that led to a decrease in coagulation throughout the body, not focused on the area of vascular injury that led to greater adverse events than therapeutic benefit.

Mechanisms of venous thrombosis and resolution.
Venous thromboembolism is a significant health care problem in the US. In this review, the unique role of inflammation to the venous thrombotic process is emphasized as well as the potential role of abnormalities of fibrinolytic mechanisms to the thrombotic process. Inflammation influences not only thrombogenesis but also thrombus resolution and vein wall remodeling, and these interactions are ...
متن کاملInflammation and thrombosis - testing the hypothesis with anti-inflammatory drug trials.
The hypothesis of atherosclerosis as an inflammatory process has been a leitmotiv in cardiology for the past 20 years, and has now led to the launch of clinical trials aimed at testing whether drugs that primarily target inflammation can reduce cardiovascular events. Inflammation indeed drives all phases of atherosclerosis, from inception, through progression, and ultimately acute thrombotic co...
متن کاملComplex Arterial and Venous Thrombosis in Polycythemia Vera: what Does Leukocytosis Predict?
Thromboembolic events represent the main cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with polycythemia vera. Leukocytosis has been identified as an important risk factor for development of vascular thrombosis. A 47-year-old woman with polycythemia vera presented with pain and swelling in her right calf. She was scheduled to receive anagrelide which was effective on polycythemia and thrombocyto...

Background and Aim: Thrombosis of the cerebral veins and sinuses is a distinct cerebrovascular disorder that most often affects young adults and children. Failure in brain autonomic activity could be provoked because of damage to energy-dependent cellular membrane pumps resulting from cytotoxic edema and cerebral ischemia. Measurement of vasomotor reactivity (VMR) through Trans-cranial Dopp...
