Background: Although revascularization is first-line therapy for chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), there are no established treatments for patients in whom revascularization is not (or is a poor) option, including CLTI that has responded poorly to revascularization. This study verified the efficacy of the Rheocarna, a novel apheresis device, for no-option CLTI or poor-response CLTI after revascularization.
Methods And Results: This multicenter retrospective observational study analyzed 221 patients (221 limbs) with no- or poor-option CLTI (mean [±SD] age 71±10 years; males, 70.

Venous thromboembolism remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality among ambulatory cancer patients, necessitating effective risk assessment and prevention strategies. Despite the availability of risk assessment models and guidelines recommending primary thromboprophylaxis with low-molecular-weight heparins or direct oral anticoagulants, the application of these strategies is inconsistent. This review provides an overview of the current state-of-the-art venous thromboembolism risk assessment and thromboprophylaxis in ambulatory patients with cancer, focusing on existing risk assessment models and the latest guideline recommendations.
