Pathophysiology of Trauma-Induced Coagulopathy
Hamostaseologie. 2024 Feb;44(1):31-39. doi: 10.1055/a-2215-8936. Epub 2024 Feb 28.ABSTRACTTrauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) is a complex hemostatic disturbance that can develop early after a major injury. There is no universally accepted definition of TIC. However, TIC primarily refers to the inability to achieve sufficient hemostasis in severely injured trauma patients, resulting in diffuse microvascular and life-threatening bleeding. Endogenous TIC is driven by the combination of hypovolemic shock and substantial tissue injury, resulting in endothelial damage, glycocalyx shedding, upregulated fibrinolysis, fibrinogen dep...

100 Years of Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura: A Story of Death and Life
Hamostaseologie. 2024 Feb;44(1):59-73. doi: 10.1055/a-2223-9484. Epub 2024 Feb 28.ABSTRACTOne hundred years ago, in 1924, the first description of a patient with a disease, now known as thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) was published by Dr. Eli Moschcowitz. In honor of this report, this article, written by distinguished specialists in TTP, reviews the increase in scientific knowledge on this disease during the last 100 years. It covers the scientific progress from plasma therapy, the first beneficial treatment for TTP, to the elucidation of the pathophysiology, the discovery of ADAMTS13, the development of assays a...

Venous thromboembolism - was is new in the revised AWMF guideline?
Dtsch Med Wochenschr. 2024 Mar;149(6):274-282. doi: 10.1055/a-2128-0005. Epub 2024 Feb 27.ABSTRACTFor the diagnosis of a lower-extremity deep vein thrombosis (LEDVT), venous duplex ultrasound is the method of first choice. If a qualified ultrasonography is not timely available, D-dimer testing, and limited ultrasound protocols (point-of-care ultrasound, POCUS) can contribute to therapeutic decision-making when clinical probability is low. A DOAC-based treatment regimen is preferable to a vitamin K antagonist for both acute therapy and secondary prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Treatment with DOACs is unproblema...

Bleeding Disorder of Unknown Cause: A Diagnosis of Exclusion
Hamostaseologie. 2024 Feb 27. doi: 10.1055/a-2263-5706. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPatients with an unexplained mild to moderate bleeding tendency are diagnosed with bleeding disorder of unknown cause (BDUC), a classification reached after ruling out other mild to moderate bleeding disorders (MBD) including von Willebrand disease (VWD), platelet function defects (PFDs), coagulation factor deficiencies (CFDs), and non-hemostatic causes for bleeding. This review outlines our diagnostic approach to BDUC, a diagnosis of exclusion, drawing on current guidelines and insights from the Vienna Bleeding Biobank (VIBB). According ...

VTE Risk Assessment and Prevention in Pregnancy
Hamostaseologie. 2024 Feb 26. doi: 10.1055/a-2238-4681. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTVenous thromboembolism (VTE) remains the leading cause of maternal mortality in pregnancy and the postpartum period. In addition to the higher pregnancy-associated baseline VTE risk, there are several well-established risk factors that can further increase the risk of VTE. At present, a thorough interrogation of these risk factors remains our only tool for estimating which pregnant people may be at an increased risk of VTE, and thus potentially benefit from thromboprophylaxis. However, an important knowledge gap still exists surrounding t...

Splanchnic Vein Thrombosis: The State-of-the-Art on Anticoagulant Treatment
Hamostaseologie. 2024 Feb 14. doi: 10.1055/a-2232-5480. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSplanchnic vein thrombosis (SVT) is a rare type of venous thromboembolism occurring within the splanchnic venous system. Portal vein thrombosis is the most common presentation, while Budd-Chiari syndrome is the least common. Liver cirrhosis and abdominal solid cancer are the main local risk factors for SVT, whereas myeloproliferative neoplasms are the predominant systemic risk factors. Signs and symptoms of SVT are nonspecific and include abdominal pain, gastrointestinal bleeding, and ascites. Asymptomatic SVT is not uncommon, and the maj...
