Inherited thrombophilia

This trial compares two common methods for placing a totally implantable vascular access device (TIVAD), a port used for chemotherapy and other treatments in cancer patients. Researchers are randomly assigning patients to have the port inserted via either the internal jugular vei…

This study tested a freeze-dried plasma product that can be mixed with water in 6 minutes, avoiding the long thaw time of standard plasma. It included 42 trauma patients with severe bleeding who needed blood transfusions. The goal was to see if faster plasma delivery could improv…

This study looked at how well the JETi device works in real-world settings to remove blood clots from deep leg veins (venous thrombosis). The device uses suction and tiny water jets to break up and remove clots. In 121 patients, the device successfully cleared at least 75% of the…

This trial tests whether a short 5-day course of the blood thinners rivaroxaban (Xarelto) or apixaban (Eliquis) can prevent blood clots that sometimes form after laser treatment for varicose veins. Adults with symptomatic vein reflux undergoing laser ablation of the great sapheno…

This study compared three common blood thinners—aspirin, warfarin, and rivaroxaban—to prevent dangerous blood clots after hip or knee replacement surgery. Nearly 19,000 adults took part. The goal was to find which option best balances preventing clots with avoiding bleeding side …

This study looked at 86 women with Factor V Leiden or Factor II mutations who had no history of blood clots. Researchers compared how long doctors prescribed blood thinners after childbirth (less than 2 weeks vs. 6 weeks) to see if shorter treatment was still effective at prevent…

This study examined blood samples from 119 adults with sickle cell disease, sickle cell trait, or no condition to understand why some develop dangerous blood clots. Participants gave blood and had health check-ins over two years. The goal was to find biomarkers that could lead to…

This completed study looked at whether intimate partner violence (IPV) increases the risk of blood clots in women taking combined oral contraceptives. Researchers compared 997 women who had a first blood clot with similar women who did not, using a questionnaire to screen for IPV…

This study looked at how common major psychiatric disorders are in women with antiphospholipid syndrome (a blood clotting disorder) and similar pregnancy loss histories. Researchers compared three groups of women about 10 years after their initial diagnosis. The goal was to under…

This study measured the amount of free-floating DNA and nucleosomes in the blood of 137 women to see if these levels differ between those with pregnancy complications (like preeclampsia or blood clots) and healthy women (both pregnant and non-pregnant). The goal was to better und…
