Targeting Therapy to the Fibrin-Mediated Pathophysiology of Acute Coronary Syndrome
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) encompasses a spectrum of diseases, ranging from ST-elevation myocardial infarction to non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction and unstable angina. A key initiating event in the pathology of ACS is atheromatous plaque disruption, in which the exposure of thrombogenic material triggers simultaneous activation of primary and secondary hemostatic pathways. Targeting platelet-mediated thrombus formation with dual antiplatelet therapy comprising acetylsalicylic acid and a P2Y12 antagonist is the current mainstay for management of ACS. However, a significant proportion of patients remain at risk of c...

Mechanical Thrombectomy for Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis: A Comprehensive Literature Review
Conclusion: Randomized multiinstitutional clinical trials with larger number of participants are needed to sufficiently compare the effect of intrasinus thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy to standard-of-care anticoagulation therapy. (Source: Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis)

Portal Vein Thrombosis: A Clinician-Oriented and Practical Review
With advances in modern imaging techniques, portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is being increasingly diagnosed. It has a wide ranging clinical spectrum from being an asymptomatic state to a potentially life-threatening situation. It is not unusual to find it as an incidental finding in the abdominal imagings done for other reasons. It is commonly associated with cirrhosis and abdominal malignancies and also has a strong association with prothrombotic disorders. It is often difficult for the clinicians to decide whether PVT is acute or chronic. This poses great challenges to its management strategies that include anticoagulants, ...

Factors Associated With Inappropriate Chemical Prophylaxis of Thromboembolism in Surgical Patients
Conclusion: Minor surgeries, head and neck operations, mastectomy, and medical treatment are associated with overlooking anticoagulant administration. It is recommended to consider aforementioned pitfalls in routine practice and education. (Source: Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis)
