A potential role of ECG-gated CT for the diagnosis of pulmonary vein thrombus: an illustrative case report
The presence of tumor thrombus in patients with lung cancer confers a risk of stroke and other end-organ ischemic events. This case highlights a potential role for electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated computed tomography (CT) in the diagnosis of this pathologic process. In this case, pulmonary vein thrombus was definitively identified by an ECG-CT following discordant results between CT and transthoracic echocardiogram. In addition, this case demonstrates how management decisions are affected by physician accessibility to and familiarity with specific imaging tests.

Hidden cancer rarely causes out-of-the-blue clots in the bloodstream
Blood clots can be lifesavers when they form outside the bloodstream to stop bleeding from an injury. But they can wreak havoc when they form inside the bloodstream. A blood clot in a coronary artery can cause a heart attack. One in the brain can cause a stroke. Blood clots that form in a leg vein cause a problem known as venous thromboembolism, or VTE. If the clot stays in the leg, it can cause swelling or pain. If it breaks away and travels to the lungs, it can cause a potentially deadly pulmonary embolism. In about half of people who develop a VTE, doctors can identify what caused it. Common causes include an injury; su...

Clinical Reasoning: A 68-year-old man with a history of lung cancer presenting with right-sided weakness and aphasia
A 68-year-old man with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation on warfarin, left subclavian thrombosis treated with carotid-subclavian bypass, and lung adenocarcinoma treated with pneumonectomy, chemotherapy, and prophylactic cranial irradiation and in remission since 1987 was admitted to our neurocritical care unit with acute onset of right-sided weakness, expressive aphasia, and lethargy. On admission his temperature was 101.7°F, and initial blood pressure was 140/60 mm Hg. There was no nuchal rigidity. He was alert and mute with impaired comprehension. He had left gaze preference. Vision was impaired in the right field. Ther...

Frequency, risk factors, and impact on mortality of arterial thromboembolism in patients with cancer.
Abstract In contrast to venous thromboembolism, little is known about arterial thromboembolism in patients with cancer. The aim of this study was to quantify the risk and explore clinical risk factors of arterial thromboembolism in patients with cancer, and investigate its potential impact on mortality. Patients with newly-diagnosed cancer or progression of disease after remission were included in a prospective observational cohort study and followed for 2 years. Between October 2003 and October 2013, 1880 patients (54.3% male; median age: 61 years) were included. During a median follow-up of 723 days, 48 (2.6%) p...

Hypercoagulation as the main cause of death in COPD
Conclusion: In the literature there are many data on the main causes of death for patients with COPD, such as respiratory failure, lung cancer, pulmonary thromboembolism, but due to the high comorbidity of COPD with cardiovascular pathology, and the mechanism of mutual complications of these nosologies, according to our research, today the main causes of death for patients with COPD are cardiovascular accidents caused by hypercoagulation.

Incidence and Risk of Various Types of Arterial Thromboembolism in Patients With Cancer
CONCLUSION: In this observational study of an aggregated US patient population, those with newly diagnosed cancer had increased risk of ATE events. This risk was most elevated in a 330-day window around cancer diagnosis and was consistent across different types of ATE and cancer.PMID:33673912 | DOI:10.1016/j.mayocp.2020.05.045

Healthcare systems data in the context of clinical trials - A comparison of cardiovascular data from a clinical trial dataset with routinely collected data
CONCLUSION: Concordance between datasets was lower than anticipated and the HSD used could not straightforwardly replace current trial practices, nor directly identify protocol-defined CVS events. Further work is required to improve the quality of HSD and consider event definitions when designing clinical trials incorporating HSD.PMID:36933612 | DOI:10.1016/j.cct.2023.107162

Arterial and Venous Thromboembolism in ALK-Rearrangement-Positive Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: A Population-Based Cohort Study
CONCLUSIONS: In this study, we observed a higher VTE risk, but not ATE risk, in patients with ALK-rearranged NSCLC relative to those without ALK rearrangement. Prospective studies are warranted to evaluate thromboprophylaxis in ALK-positive NSCLC.PMID:37014824 | DOI:10.1093/oncolo/oyad061
