Pulmonary Embolism and Thrombosis

Multicenter longitudinal observational ambispective (retrospective cases from 2014 and prospective from 2018 onwards) cohort study. The registry recruits a series of consecutive patients admitted for moderate-high risk or high-risk pulmonary embolism (according to 2019 European Society of Cardiology guidelines) treated invasively. This study aims to describe the acute management of the safety and effectiveness of different percutaneous interventions for acute pulmonary embolism.

Pulmonary embolism is a blood clot on the lung, which can cause death or significant reduced quality of life. Sucking the clot out with a special tube (catheter) is a relatively new procedure that can be performed but doesn't have the data required to properly support its use in some patients. We know this procedure works in patients who have no other options and would almost certainly die without intervention. We currently don't know how well this procedure is tolerated, how well it works and what its complications are in patients who are moderately to severely unwell. The National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE), an advisory body, suggests more data is required to support its use in patients who are sick or very sick. This registry aims to support this growing evidence base to workout if the treatment is effective and the associated risks that come with using it. We are collecting data about this procedure and other treatments patients get offered to better inform clinicians and researchers.

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a condition in which old blood clots block the blood vessels in the lungs, making it harder for the heart to pump blood through the lungs. Surgery called pulmonary thromboendarterectomy can remove these clots and improve blood flow, but doctors need reliable ways to evaluate lung blood flow before and after surgery. This study will evaluate a bedside imaging method called electrical impedance tomography (EIT), which can measure how blood flows through different regions of the lungs without radiation or invasive procedures. Patients undergoing surgery for CTEPH will be monitored with EIT before and after surgery, and the results will be compared with standard lung perfusion imaging. The goal of this study is to determine whether EIT can provide useful information about lung blood flow and changes after surgery, and whether it could serve as a complementary bedside tool to help monitor patients with CTEPH.

This study is being done to determine the feasibility and safety of using a novel dose adjusted apixaban for the management of participants with cancer-associated venous thromboembolism (blood clot) or and thrombocytopenia (low number of platelets in the blood). Investigators are also looking to see if participants on this treatment have fewer bleeding episodes. The name of the study drug involved in this study is: -Apixiban (a type of anticoagulant)

The investigators aim to build a predictive tool for Adverse Outcome of Acute Pulmonary Embolism by Artificial Intelligence System Based on CT Pulmonary Angiography.

This study collected clinical, laboratory, and CT parameters of acute patients with acute pulmonary embolism from admission to predict adverse outcomes within 30 days after admission into hospital.

The goal of this multicentric clinical trial is to compare the incidence of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE), assessed through AngioCT, in the endovascular treatment of acute thrombosis in native and prosthetic arteriovenous fistulas (AVF). The main questions it aims to answer are: * What is the difference in the incidence of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) assessed by AngioCT in endovascular treatment of acute thrombosis of native and prosthetic arteriovenous fistulas using balloon thrombectomy versus thromboaspiration systems? * What is the primary patency rate of arteriovenous fistulas treated with balloon thrombectomy versus thromboaspiration systems? * What is the clinical success rate in the treatment of arteriovenous fistulas using balloon thrombectomy compared to thromboaspiration systems? * What are the costs associated with the different thrombectomy techniques in the treatment of arteriovenous fistulas? Participants will be underwent to balloon thrombectomy versus thromboaspiration systems. Researchers will compare the patients treated with balloon thrombectomy and thromboaspiration systems to see if the incidence of PE is comparable and to evaluate the primary and secondary patency rates of both thrombectomy techniques, the clinical technical success rate, and the costs associated with each technique.

A new algorithm derived from only patient age and components of the complete blood count and basic metabolic panel can identify patients discharged from the hospital who may benefit from a blood thinner (called rivaroxaban) to decrease their risk of blood clots, and for whom the risk of bleeding is minimal. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of a pop-up alert, which will be seen by clinicians when a discharging patient has been identified as being someone for whom the risk of blood clots is high, but for whom bleeding risk is estimated to be low. The pop-up alert will be enabled in a sequential fashion for each group of hospitals in 1 month blocks. We will look to see if the pop-up alert changes the number of patients who receive rivaroxaban. We will also measure the outcomes of blood clots and bleeding among all discharging patients.
