Article Synopsis
- Cardiac catheter ablation is a common treatment for supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), but this study investigated the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) following the procedure.
- A cohort of 80 patients, who were not on anticoagulants before the procedure, was monitored for DVT using ultrasound at 24 hours and again between 10 to 14 days post-ablation.
- The study found that 8.8% of patients developed DVT in the leg where the catheter was inserted, particularly among those with elevated D-dimer levels, suggesting the potential need for preventive anticoagulation during the procedure.
Background: Platelet adhesion is the critical process mediating stable thrombus formation. Previous reports of cadherin-6 on human platelets have demonstrated its role in platelet aggregation and thrombus formation.
Objectives: We aimed to further characterize the importance of cadherin-6 in thrombosis in vivo.
This case highlights the need for both tissue biopsy for diagnosis in suspected CNS malignancy and comprehensive immune profiling for accurate subclassification.
