Women, thrombosis, and cancer

This article aims to present an optimized method for assessing venous thrombosis in a mouse cancer model, using vascular clips to achieve venous ligation. Optimization minimizes variability in thrombosis-related measurements and enhances relevance to human cancer-associated venous...

The goal of this study is to use magnetic resonance venography with long-circulating gadolinium-based contrast agent and direct thrombus imaging for quantitative evaluation of DVT volume in a multicenter, clinical trial setting. Inter- and intra-observer variability assessments were conducted, and reproducibility of the protocol was...

We report a refined procedure of the ferric chloride (FeCl3)-induced thrombosis models on carotid and mesenteric artery as well as vein, characterized efficiently using intravital microscopy to monitor time to occlusive thrombi...

Venous thrombosis, the most common disorder of the veins, involves the formation of a thrombus or blood clot associated with vein inflammation. It can be classified as either superficial vein thrombosis or deep vein thrombosis.Superficial Vein Thrombosis: This involves the formation of a thrombus in a superficial vein, usually the greater or lesser saphenous vein. Though less severe than deep vein thrombosis (DVT), SVT can lead to complications if untreated.Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): This...

We present a benchtop protocol to induce thrombosis in ventricular assist devices (VAD) within a recirculating test platform. This method serves to identify thrombogenic hotspots in the blood flow path and can help improve thromboresistance ahead of preclinical testing in animal...

Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a frequent complication in patients with portal hypertension resulting from end-stage liver disease. In certain instances, PVT may be a contraindication for liver transplantation. We have developed a novel approach for managing PVT cases involving complete occlusion of the main trunk of the portal...
