Increased platelet activation in early symptomatic vs. asymptomatic carotid stenosis and relationship with microembolic status: results from the Platelets and Carotid Stenosis Study
DiscussionRecently, symptomatic carotid stenosis patients have had higher platelet counts (potentially reflecting increased platelet production, mobilization or reduced clearance) and platelet activation status than asymptomatic patients. MES were more frequently detected in early symptomatic than asymptomatic patients, but the differences between late symptomatic and asymptomatic groups were not significant. Increased lymphocyte‐platelet complex formation in recently symptomatic vs. asymptomatic MES‐negative patients indicates enhanced platelet activation in this early symptomatic subgroup. Platelet biomarkers, in com...

Intracranial 4D flow magnetic resonance imaging reveals altered haemodynamics in sickle cell disease
Summary Stroke risk in children with sickle cell disease (SCD) is currently assessed with routine transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) measurements of blood velocity in the Circle of Willis (CoW). However, there is currently no biomarker with proven prognostic value in adult patients. Four‐dimensional (4D) flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may improve risk profiling based on intracranial haemodynamics. We conducted neurovascular 4D flow MRI and blood sampling in 69 SCD patients [median age 15 years (interquartile range, IQR: 12–50)] and 14 healthy controls [median age 21 years (IQR: 18–43)]. We measured veloci...

Predictors of Adverse Outcome in Sickle Cell Disease Patients from Oman
Conclusion: Multi-organ failure was mostly associated with the terminal events relating to mortality. Although sepsis played a major role as a cause of death in association with multiorgan failure, low hemoglobin, and low platelet counts with increased WBC counts along with elevated LDH and CRP played a significant role in the terminal event in this cohort of SCD patients.DisclosuresNo relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Coagulation management with factor concentrates in liver transplantation: a single-center experience.
CONCLUSION: In LT, ROTEM-guided treatment with fibrinogen concentrate and/or PCC did not appear to increase the occurrence of thrombosis and ischemic events compared to patients who did not receive these concentrates. PMID: 24827116 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

MRI, the technology for imaging of thrombi and inflammation.
Abstract Atherosclerosis and its sequelae have a major impact on morbidity and mortality. The rupture of an inflamed atherosclerotic plaque is a crucial event, since it can result in acute thrombotic closure of an arterial vessel, resulting e. g. in myocardial infarction or stroke. Not only detection of early plaque rupture with imminent closure is therefore of clinical interest, but also timely detection of vascular inflammation and atherosclerotic plaque progression. However, plaque inflammation or even plaque rupture without vessel occlusion is not reliably detectable by current imaging techniques. Coronary a...

The role of the carotid doppler examination in the evaluation of atherosclerotic changes in beta thalassemia patients
Conclusion:  Carotid  Doppler is very useful method in measurement of cIMT that increased in thalassemic patients which  shows a strong relationship with features of iron overload. We recommend the routine use of Doppler measurement of cIMT in these patients to predict early atherosclerotic changes as well as in the follow-up to prevent progression of atherosclerosis.

Rivaroxaban Thromboprophylaxis in High-Risk Ambulatory Cancer Patients Receiving Systemic Therapy: Results of a Randomized Clinical Trial (CASSINI)
Conclusions: Rivaroxaban significantly reduced VTE and VTE-related death during the on-treatment period but not during the full study period; over one-third of events occurred post discontinuation of study drug. The incidence of major bleeding was low. The Khorana risk score cut-off of ≥2 identified cancer patients at high risk of thrombotic events both at baseline (4.53%) and during study (8.79% with additional 1.66% arterial events in placebo group). These results should inform future recommendations regarding thromboprophylaxis in at-risk ambulatory cancer patients.(Funded by Janssen; ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT02...

Characteristics of patients presenting with myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) in Poland: data from the ORPKI national registry
AbstractMyocardial infarction (MI) with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) is an important clinical problem especially in the era of extensive utilization of coronary angiography in MI patients. Its pathophysiology is poorly understood which makes diagnostics and treatment of MINOCA challenging in everyday clinical practice. The aim of the study was to assess characteristics of MINOCA patients in Poland based on data from the Polish National ORPKI Registry. In 2016, 49,893 patients with non-ST-segment elevation (NSTEMI) or ST-segment elevation (STEMI) myocardial infarction entered the ORPKI registry. MINOCA was def...

Engineered Micro- and Nanoparticles for Fibrinolysis.
Abstract Fibrinolytic agents including plasmin and plasminogen activators improve outcomes in acute ischemic stroke and thrombosis by recanalizing occluded vessels. In the decades since their introduction into clinical practice, several limitations of have been identified both in terms of efficacy and bleeding risk associated with these agents. Engineered nano- and microparticles address some of these limitations by improving circulation time, reducing inhibition and degradation in circulation, accelerating recanalization, improving targeting to thrombotic occlusions, and reducing off-target effects; however, many...

Reduced dose thrombolysis with ultrasound-facilitated catheter-directed administration for acute pulmonary embolism reduces length of stay
AbstractThe optimal dose and duration of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) administered with ultrasound-facilitated catheter-directed thrombolysis (USCDT) to patients with acute PE remains to be determined. Our institution recently adopted a shorter duration (4  h) of USCDT and lower dosing strategy (tPA 1 mg/h) based on data from the OPTALYSE PE Trial. The purpose was to evaluate the implementation at our institution of shorter duration (4 h) of USCDT and lower dosing strategy (tPA 1 mg/h) as outlined by OPTALYSE PE Trial. This was a retrospective, si ngle-center, observational study included patients from 01/01/2017...
