Murine models are widely used valuable tools to study deep vein thrombosis. Leading experts in venous thrombosis research came together through the American Venous Forum to develop a consensus on maximizing the utility and application of available mouse models of venous thrombosis. In this work, we provide an algorithm for model selection, with discussion of the advantages, disadvantages, and applications of the main mouse models of venous thrombosis. Additionally, we provide a detailed surgical description of the models with guidelines to validate surgical technique.

Safety of accessing brachial veins for large-bore upper extremity venous thrombectomy using ClotTriever Thrombectomy System.

CVIR Endovasc

January 2025

Department of Radiology, Section of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, University of Washington, 1959 Northeast Pacific Street, Seattle, WA, 98195, USA.

Purpose: To evaluate access site adverse events following ClotTriever-mediated large-bore mechanical thrombectomy via small upper extremity deep veins (< 6-mm).

Materials And Methods: Twenty patients, including 24 upper extremity venous access sites, underwent ClotTriever-mediated large-bore thrombectomy of the upper extremity and thoracic central veins for symptomatic deep vein obstruction unresponsive to anticoagulation. Patients without follow-up venous duplex examinations (n = 3) were excluded.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), encompassing deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, is a significant burden on health and economic systems worldwide. Improved VTE management calls for the integration of biomarkers into diagnostic algorithms and scoring systems for risk assessment, possible complications, and mortality. This literature review discusses novel biomarkers with potential diagnostic and prognostic value in personalized VTE management.

Recent Advances and Future Directions in Extracorporeal Carbon Dioxide Removal.

J Clin Med

December 2024

Department of Adult Critical Care, Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, King's Health Partners, London SE1 9RT, UK.

Extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCOR) is an emerging technique designed to reduce carbon dioxide (CO) levels in venous blood while enabling lung-protective ventilation or alleviating the work of breathing. Unlike high-flow extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), ECCOR operates at lower blood flows (0.4-1.

Recent Updates and Advances in the Association Between Vitamin D Deficiency and Risk of Thrombotic Disease.

Nutrients

December 2024

VAS-European Independent Foundation in Angiology/Vascular Medicine, Via GB Grassi 74, 20157 Milan, Italy.

Vitamin D (VD) is a vital lipophilic secosteroid hormone known for its essential role in maintaining skeletal health and regulating calcium and phosphate metabolism. Recent evidence has begun to illuminate its significance beyond bone health, particularly in relation to thrombosis-a condition characterized by blood clot formation within the vascular system that can lead to serious cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction and stroke. VD deficiency, defined as a plasma 25-hydroxyVD level below 25 nmol/L, affects a substantial portion of the global population, with prevalence rates ranging from 8% to 18%.

Splanchnic vein thrombosis (SVT), which is particularly prevalent in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), has a multifactorial pathomechanism involving the anticoagulant protein C (PC) pathway. To better characterize the hypercoagulable state in SVT we assessed its key enzymes thrombin and activated PC (APC). The study population included 73 patients with SVT, thereof 36 MPN+, confirmed by bone marrow biopsy, 37 MPN-, and 30 healthy controls.
