Venous Thrombosis III: Interprofessional Care01:29

Venous Thrombosis III: Interprofessional Care

Venous thrombosis requires effective prevention and treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes and reduce potential complications.Prevention StrategiesHealthcare providers must prioritize preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) for all adult patients upon admission. Interventions depend on bleeding and thrombosis risk, medical history, current medications, diagnoses, planned procedures, and patient preferences. Patients on bed rest should change positions every two hours and, if not...
Clot Retraction and Fibrinolysis01:16

Clot Retraction and Fibrinolysis

After a fibrin clot is formed, the next step is clot retraction, a vital process facilitated by platelet contractile proteins, such as actin and myosin. These proteins pull the fibrin strands closer together and condense the clot. This action reduces the size of the clot, creating a smaller, denser structure that effectively seals off the damaged vessel. Clot retraction consolidates the clot and helps with wound healing by bringing the edges of the damaged blood vessel closer together.

Pulmonary Embolism II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

Diagnosing Pulmonary EmbolismDiagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) involves clinical assessment and advanced imaging tests. The preferred diagnostic tool is the spiral (helical) CT scan or CT angiography (CTA), which uses intravenous contrast media to visualize the pulmonary vasculature and identify emboli.A ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan is an alternative for patients unable to receive contrast media. This scan includes both perfusion and ventilation scanning. Perfusion scanning involves...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Interventional Cardiology
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Endovascular therapy is crucial for acute ischemic stroke patients.
  • Intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV tPA) has strict eligibility criteria.
  • Alternative treatments are needed for patients excluded from IV tPA.

Observation:

  • A 69-year-old female presented with acute ischemic stroke.
  • She was ineligible for IV tPA due to an elevated international normalized ratio.
  • This case highlights a treatment challenge in specific stroke patient populations.

Findings:

  • A novel, FDA-approved retrieval device was utilized for endovascular treatment.
  • The device achieved rapid recanalization of the affected cerebral artery.
  • The patient experienced an excellent clinical outcome post-intervention.

Implications:

  • This new retrieval device represents a viable alternative for acute ischemic stroke management.
  • It expands treatment options for patients unsuitable for standard thrombolytic therapy.
  • Further research may establish this device as a key tool in endovascular stroke intervention.
