A systematic review and meta-analysis for the association between duration of anticoagulation therapy and the risk of venous thromboembolism in patients with lower limb superficial venous thrombosis.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the association between the duration of systemic anticoagulation therapy (ACT) and the risk of further venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with superficial venous thrombosis (SVT).

Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed using searches of Medline and Cochrane Library databases in September 2023. Papers that provided VTE incidence within mid-term follow-up of ≥45 days in patients who received any ACT were included.

Intermittent Pneumatic Compression in Addition to Standard Prophylaxis of Postoperative Venous Thromboembolism in Extremely High-risk Patients (IPC SUPER): A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objective: To assess the efficacy of adjunctive IPC to standard prophylaxis of postoperative VTE in patients at extremely high-risk.

Summary Of Background Data: The standard prophylaxis for postoperative VTE is insufficient in extremely high-risk patients. It is unclear whether an adjunctive use of IPC would result in a lower incidence of postoperative venous thrombosis.

The frequency and clinical significance of nontarget superficial and deep vein occlusion after physician compounded foam sclerotherapy of varicose tributaries.

Objective: To evaluate the incidence and clinical relevance of silent nontarget occlusion (NTO) of superficial and deep veins occurring after ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy (UGFS) that can be detected by serial duplex ultrasound scan (DUS).

Methods: This retrospective analysis evaluated the medical records of patients treated with UGFS at a private clinic in Moscow, Russia from 2015 to 2017. All patients underwent serial DUS at 1 to 2 weeks and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after UGFS.

Utilization of the Caprini score in conjunction with thrombodynamic testing reduces the number of unpredicted postoperative venous thromboembolism events in patients with colorectal cancer.

Background: The thrombodynamic test (TD) is a novel global test of hemostasis that allows to study the spatial-temporal characteristics of a clot formation in real time under conditions close to natural ones and demonstrates high sensitivity to detect the state of hypercoagulation. The main paraments of the test are the velocity of clot growth, clot's size, and clot density. The objective of this study was to compare the classic Caprini 2005 score and its modified version in association with the results of TD.
