Acute venous embolism and thrombosis are both conditions that disrupt blood flow. Treatment may involve medications or surgery. Blood clot formation is a protective mechanism that helps prevent excess ...

In a recent study published in Thrombosis Research, researchers determined plasma signatures of proteins related to or derived from platelets in acute isolated pulmonary embolism (iPE) and deep vein ...

A deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot in the leg. An acute DVT has only been there for a couple of weeks (a chronic DVT will have been there for more than a couple of weeks). It may be an ...

This Journal feature begins with a case vignette highlighting a common clinical problem. Evidence supporting various strategies is then presented, followed by a review of formal guidelines, when they ...

SAN FRANCISCO, CA—Patients with acute intermediate-high-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) who undergo mechanical thrombectomy have a greater reduction in the RV/LV ratio at 48 hours than those treated with ...

Mechanical thrombectomy reduced right ventricular strain more than anticoagulation alone in intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism.

Purpose: Deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) are associated with major morbidity and mortality, with their burden often extending to longer-term complications such as event ...
