Purpose: Due to its specific pharmacokinetic profile, tinzaparin, a low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH), appears not to be associated with anti-factor Xa accumulation. Our meta-analysis aimed at determining whether long-term curative doses of tinzaparin is a valuable alternative to vitamin K antagonists (VKA) for the treatment of symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE), especially in patients with cancer who are at higher risk of recurrence and bleeding.

Materials And Methods: A systematic literature search identified randomized studies on long-term tinzaparin compared to VKA in patients with VTE.

Article Synopsis
  • Aortic stent-graft infections (ASGIs) are serious and can lead to high mortality rates; this study discusses two successful treatment cases with different approaches.
  • Patient 1 received conservative treatment due to high surgical risk, while Patient 2 had endograft removal to address their infection; both patients showed no recurrent infection after 6 months.
  • The study highlights that conservative treatment can be effective for high-risk patients, and it notes the first case of ASGI from Streptococcus haemolyticus and a fungal infection, along with a rare case of spondylodiscitis post-EVAR.
