Incidence of Thromboembolic Complications Following Kidney Transplantation with Short and Extended Aspirin Prophylaxis: A Retrospective Single-Center Study
CONCLUSIONS Extended-duration aspirin use did not significantly reduce the incidence of VTE in the first 6 weeks following kidney transplantation. An association was identified between anti-human thymocyte immunoglobulin and VTE, which requires further assessment.PMID:37309097 | DOI:10.12659/AOT.939143

Excess Stroke Deaths in Kidney Transplant Recipients: A Retrospective Population-based Cohort Study Using Data Linkage

The Implication of HeartWare HVAD Inflow Cannula Angle on Stroke and Thrombus Rate
Stroke and ventricular assist device (VAD) pump thrombus are serious complications that have previously been thought to be related to surgical placement - namely VAD inflow cannula angle. Our aim with this study was to better elucidate the impact of post-operative HeartWare HVAD (left VAD) cannula inflow angle on stroke and thrombus rate within a single centre in Sydney, Australia.
