In-Hospital Pulmonary Arterial Embolism after Catheter Ablation of Over 45,000 Cardiac Arrhythmias: Individualized Case Analysis of Multicentric Data
CONCLUSION: Over a 15-year period, incidence of PE after ablation is low, particularly low in patients with ablation for AF/AFlu. This is most likely due to stricter anticoagulation management in these patients compared with those receiving SVT/VT ablation procedures and could argue for continuation of OAC prior to ablation. Optimizing periprocedural anticoagulation management should be subject of further prospective trials.PMID:38555641 | DOI:10.1055/s-0044-1785519 (Source: Thrombosis and Haemostasis)

Hormonal contraceptive use after a first venous thrombotic event and the risk of recurrence in premenopausal women
CONCLUSIONS: CHC use after a first VTE is safe during anticoagulant use, but substantially increases the risk of a recurrent VTE event in absence of anticoagulant use. This study adds to the evidence regarding a levonorgestrel-releasing intra-uterine device as a safe alternative.PMID:38554933 | DOI:10.1016/j.jtha.2024.03.014 (Source: Thrombosis and Haemostasis)

Diagnosis of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura: Easy-to-use fiber-optic surface plasmon resonance immunoassays for automated ADAMTS13 antigen and conformation evaluation
CONCLUSIONS: Both ADAMTS13 antigen and conformation assays were transferred onto automated, easy-to-use FO-SPR technology displaying potent analytical sensitivity and reproducibility. ADAMTS13 antigen and conformation were determined for healthy donors and acute iTTP patients showing strong correlation with ELISA reference. Introducing FO-SPR technology in clinical context could support routine diagnosis of acute iTTP patients, notably when ADAMTS13 activity fluctuates between 10-20%.PMID:38554935 | DOI:10.1016/j.jtha.2024.03.012 (Source: Thrombosis and Haemostasis)

MITD1 deficiency leads to poor survival via tissue factor-mediated coagulation in bladder cancer
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest the novel role of tumor prognostic genes upon the development of hypercoagulative phenotype and venous thromboembolism, thereby underlining the importance of anticoagulant therapy and shedding light on the therapeutic value of targeting MITD1 in bladder cancer.PMID:38554936 | DOI:10.1016/j.jtha.2024.03.015 (Source: Thrombosis and Haemostasis)

Thrombocytopenia with and without thrombosis following COVID-19 vaccination: long-term management
CONCLUSION: Two of 4 patients with VITT developed refractory thrombocytopenia successfully treated with intravenous immunoglobulin, corticosteroids, and plasma exchange therapy. Patients with VITT remained on anticoagulation for at least 9 months due to persistently positive diagnostic tests. Four of 5 patients with immune thrombocytopenia received intravenous immunoglobulin and corticosteroids with good recovery. Patients who received a subsequent COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had no adverse hematologic effects.PMID:38550529 | PMC:PMC10973182 | DOI:10.1016/j.rpth.2024.102357 (Source: Thrombosis and Haemostasis)

Changes in fibrin clot properties in patients after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery
CONCLUSION: RYGB surgery led to a decrease in the maximum absorbance of the fibrin clot. Values of maximum absorbance were associated with measures of glycemic control and inflammation. In contrast to previous reports, fibrin clot lysis time was not affected after surgery.PMID:38545128 | PMC:PMC10966290 | DOI:10.1016/j.rpth.2024.102361 (Source: Thrombosis and Haemostasis)
