Venous thromboembolism (VTE) and arterial thrombosis (AT) are distinct yet closely related pathological processes. While traditionally considered separate entities, accumulating evidence suggests that they share common risk factors, such as inflammation and endothelial dysfunction (ED). This review explores the parallels and differences between venous and arterial thrombosis, with particular attention to the role of unprovoked VTE and its potential links to atherosclerosis and systemic inflammation.

Purpose Of Review: Patients with cancer have an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Guidelines suggest to use risk assessment tools to guide decisions about thromboprophylaxis, but current tools have modest discriminatory ability. Genetic information from the germline or tumor has the potential to improve VTE prediction.

Background: Age and sex are well-known risk factors for cardiovascular complications and mortality following total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Yet, stratified up-to-date absolute risk estimates, which are needed to optimize prevention, are lacking.

Methods: All Dutch patients who had a first primary THA and TKA for osteoarthritis between 2015 and 2021 were included.

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common vascular disease with a significant global burden, influenced by multiple factors, such as genetic, environmental, and immune components. Immune responses and shifts in immune cell profiles are closely linked to the development and progression of VTE, yet current studies are limited by confounding factors and reverse causation. To address these limitations, this study uses Mendelian randomization to explore the causal relationship between immune cell traits and VTE, aiming to provide insights into underlying mechanisms.
