Treatment with chemotherapy and bevacizumab, an anticancer drug, is associated with a greater risk of blood clots in patients' arteries compared with treatment with chemotherapy only. view more (2007-08-08)
Vitamin K discovery may lead to new treatments for patients at risk from blood clots
Medical Research Council (MRC) scientists have discovered more about the role that vitamin K plays in the complicated process of how blood clots. Their work, published in Nature, may lead to new treatments for patients at risk from blood clots, including those who have had heart attacks, have coronary artery disease, irregular heart beats, or have... view more...

Is it reasonable to perform polypectomy without interruption of anticoagulation?
Currently, patients taking anticoagulants to prevent stroke and blood clots are often recommended to stop these medications in order to perform colonoscopy with removal of polyps. view more (2009-05-08)
Ultrasound waves aid in rapid treatment of DVT
The use of ultrasound waves for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) may help dissolve blood clots in less time than using clot-busting drugs alone, according to researchers at Emory University. view more (2008-11-24)
Women may stop anticoagulants after blood clots
Women may safely discontinue oral anticoagulants (blood thinners) after 6 months of treatment following a first unprovoked venous blood clot (thromboembolism) if they have no or one risk factor. view more (2008-08-26)
Brain-damage Threat From Invasive Assessment Of Heart-valve Stenosis (p 1241)
Authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET warn against the widespread use of catheterisation to assess the extent of aortic-valve stenosis--this invasive procedure could increase the risk of cerebral blood clotting and brain damage. The severity of valvular aortic stenosis (a narrowing of the valve between the left ventricle of the... view more... (2003-04-09)
Minor leg injuries associated with risk of blood clots
Muscle ruptures, ankle sprains and other common minor leg injuries appear to be associated with a higher risk for blood clots in the legs or lungs. view more (2008-01-15)
Blood clots may hold key to treating dementia
Spontaneous blood clots or debris from arterial disease in the brain (known as cerebral emboli) may hold the key to preventing or treating dementia, say researchers from the University of Manchester in this week's BMJ. view more (2006-04-28)
Long airplane flight does not appear to increase risk of blood clots
Researchers simulating conditions of reduced cabin pressure and reduced oxygen levels, such as may be encountered during an 8-hour airplane flight, found no increase in the activation of the blood clotting system among healthy individuals. view more (2006-05-17)
Beijing pollution may trigger heart attacks, strokes
Olympic athletes aren't the only ones who need to be concerned about the heavily polluted air in Beijing. The dirty air may trigger serious cardiovascular problems for some spectators. view more (2008-07-22)
Scientists Find New No-Needle Approach to Prevent Blood Clots
The dean of the University of Oklahoma College of Public Health and a team of scientists worldwide have found a better way to prevent deadly blood clots after joint replacement surgery - a major problem that results in thousands of unnecessary deaths each year. The research appears this week in the New England Journal of Medicine. view more (2009-08-12)
Cholesterol-lowering Drug May Also Reduce Risk of Blood Clots
Statin drugs, commonly used to lower high cholesterol blood levels, have been shown to possibly decrease the risk for thrombotic complications of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), a disease associated with blood clotting and recurrent fetal loss. Research conducted on animal models, has shown success in using the drug fluvastatin to inhibit the... view more... (2004-11-10)
Jefferson scientists find high glucose before surgery raises risk of dangerous complications
Patients who have high blood sugar before undergoing surgery run an increased risk of developing blood clots, deep vein thrombosis and even pulmonary embolism after surgery. view more (2006-10-16)
Drug linked to increase in brain hemorrhage cases
The rate of brain hemorrhages associated with blood thinning drugs quintupled during the 1990s, according to a study published in the January 9, 2007, issue of Neurology, the scientific journal of the American Academy of Neurology. In people over age 80, the rate increased more than tenfold. view more (2007-01-09)
Blood clots in lungs might not always originate in deep veins of legs and pelvis in trauma patients
Few trauma patients who develop potentially deadly blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolism) also have clots in the deep veins of their pelvis and legs (deep venous thrombosis), challenging commonly held beliefs about the association between the two conditions. view more (2009-10-20)
Blood clots can be treated by injections at home
Treatment of blood clots in the deep veins of the legs or the lungs with an older, less expensive form of the anticoagulant medication heparin can be just as safe and effective as similar treatment with a newer and more expensive heparin. view more (2006-08-23)
Oral HRT more than doubles the risk of blood clots
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) given in skin patches may cause fewer blood clots than HRT given orally, according to a report published on BMJ.com today. view more (2008-05-23)
Many oncologists unaware of cancer clot risk
Patients receiving cancer treatments are at greater risk of blood clots, yet more than a quarter of oncologists do not recognise their clotting effects and preventive measures are rarely used, finds a study in this week’s BMJ. view more (2003-09-10)
Cause of Ischemic Stroke Analyzed for the First Time by UCLA Researchers
In contrast to traditional beliefs that stroke-causing clots derived from arterial and cardiac sources are distinctly different, a new UCLA study shows they are composed of similar components. view more (2006-08-21)
Clots traveling from lower veins may not be the cause of pulmonary embolism in trauma patients
A report from a team of Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) physicians calls into question the longstanding belief that pulmonary embolism (PE) - the life-threatening blockage of a major blood vessel in the lungs - is caused in trauma patients by a blood clot traveling from vessels deep within the legs or lower torso. view more (2009-10-20)
