COVID-19 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 [SARS-CoV-2]) is associated with coagulopathy through numerous mechanisms. The reported incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 has varied widely, and several meta-analyses have been performed to assess the overall prevalence of VTE. The novelty of this coronavirus strain along with its unique mechanisms for microvascular and macrovascular thrombosis has led to uncertainty as to how to diagnose, prevent, and treat thrombosis in patients affected by this virus. This review discusses the epidemiology and pathophysiology of thrombosis in the setting of SARS-CoV-2 infection along with an updated review on the preventative and treatment strategies for VTE associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Background: With advancements in healthcare, traditional VTE risk assessment tools are increasingly insufficient to meet the demands of high-quality care, underscoring the need for innovative and specialized assessment methods.
Objective: Owing to the remarkable success of machine learning in supervised learning and disease prediction, our objective is to develop a reliable and efficient model for assessing VTE risk by leveraging the fundamental data and clinical characteristics of colorectal cancer patients within our medical facility.
Methods: Six commonly used machine learning algorithms were utilized in our study to predict the occurrence of VTE in patients with rectal cancer.

Objective: During the treatment of ovarian cancer, the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) post operatively is well established, however, patients may be at even greater risk during neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). This study aimed to determine the incidence and timing of VTE amongst patients undergoing NACT, whether there was an association with survival, and examine risk factors associated with the development of VTE.
Study Design: This was a retrospective cohort study of patients diagnosed with ovarian, fallopian tube and primary peritoneal cancer receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy betweenApril 2011 and April 2022 at a gynaecological cancer centre in England.

Background: Trauma and pregnancy are both risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE). We hypothesized that pregnant blunt trauma patients would have a higher incidence of VTE complications compared with matched nonpregnant females.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using National Trauma Data Bank data from 2017 to 2022.

Background: Endovascular radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and Endovascular Laser Ablation (EVLA) are minimally invasive methods to safely treat symptomatic varicose veins in pediatric patients. This research aimed to review the management of pediatric patients with venous insufficiency, evaluate the outcome, and determine the efficacy, convenience, and safety of ablation procedures in an outpatient setting.
Methods: A retrospective chart review of all patients seen at six locations from 2013 to 2024 was completed.
