Venous thrombosis after travel
Traveling for more than 4 hours by air, car, bus or train is associated with an increased risk of venous thrombosis. view more (2006-08-22)
Women, Drinking to Their Health
Women see a slightly higher health benefit over men from alcohol consumption according to twelve separate studies reviewed in the Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis. However, more studies are needed to determine if there are more significant results from either wine, other spirits or beer. view more (2005-01-31)
Most patients can be treated safely at home for deep vein thrombosis
New, effective therapies for acute deep vein thrombosis mean that most patients do not need to be admitted to hospital, according to a study in this week's BMJ. These results challenge the traditional notion that these patients must be treated in hospital and adds to the evidence that home treatment of deep vein thrombosis is now routinely... view more...

Study examines long-term outcomes following blood clots
Patients who develop a blood clot in their legs (deep vein thrombosis) or lungs (pulmonary embolism) are at risk for experiencing another blood clot within three years, and patients with pulmonary embolism have a higher risk of death. view more (2008-02-26)
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)
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)
Vascular and biliary complications after liver transplant can be reliably diagnosed when using CE-US
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CE-US) after a liver transplant is highly accurate in showing vascular as well as biliary complications, according to a recent study. view more (2007-05-07)
Portal vein thrombosis is common in extraportal vein obstruction
Among the 118 patients with portal vein thrombosis, noncirrhotic and nontumoral extrahepatic portal vein obstruction are young and present with well tolerated bleed. view more (2007-10-15)
Postmenopausal hormone therapy appears to increase risk of blood clots in veins
Estrogen therapy may increase the risk of venous thrombosis, the formation of blood clots in the veins, among postmenopausal women who have had their uterus removed. view more (2006-04-11)
Early reports of thrombosis after insertion of drug-eluting stent (pp 1466, 1519)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how the use of drug-eluting stents (DES) may carry a risk of subsequent thrombosis if stenting is accompanied by a withdrawal of antiplatelet therapy. view more (2004-10-20)
Study simulating aircraft conditions suggests increased risk of venous thrombosis (p 1657)
Two weeks after a study published in THE LANCET concluded that there was no increased risk of venous thrombosis from air travel (Kraaijenhagen RA, Haverkamp D. Travel and risk of venous thrombosis. Lancet 2000; 356: 1492-93), a research letter published in this week’s issue of THE LANCET suggests an increased risk of venous thrombosis in a... view more... (2000-11-08)
Researchers identify 5 genetic variations associated with risk of venous thrombosis in women
Researchers have identified new genetic variations that may be associated with the risk of developing nonfatal venous thrombosis in postmenopausal women. view more (2007-02-07)
Radiologists encouraged to look beyond cancer for clinically unseen diseases
Radiologists can diagnose venous thromboembolic disease (VTED) in cancer patients earlier by looking more carefully at CT scans of the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis which are regularly done to determine the extent or stage of the cancer. view more (2007-08-15)
New study supports view that third generation pill increases risk of blood clots
Women taking third generation oral contraceptives have a 1.7 fold increased risk of venous clotting (thrombosis) compared with those taking second generation oral contraceptives, concludes a study in this week's BMJ. Although the risks are small, they should be considered when deciding which contraceptive pill to use, report the authors.... view more... (2001-07-18)
The risk of developing deep vein thrombosis during a flight is often overestimated
The risk of developing deep vein thrombosis during a long flight is often overestimated. view more (2009-07-24)
DVT Risk From Air Travel Unrelated To Reduced Air Pressure In Cabin (p 2207)
Results of a study published as a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that reduced air pressure (leading to decreased oxygen availability) in pressurised aircraft cabins is not associated with increased activity of the agents responsible for blood clotting and potential deep-vein thrombosis (DVT). The risk of venous... view more... (2003-06-25)
The risk factors of abdominal venous thrombosis
Abdominal venous thrombosis may present as BCS or SVT. Hereditary and acquired risk factors have been implicated in the etiopathogenesis of abdominal venous thrombosis view more (2008-10-13)
Folic acid could prevent heart disease
Folic acid could dramatically reduce the risk of heart disease, deep vein thrombosis, and stroke if levels of homocysteine (an amino acid) were reduced, according to researchers in this week’s BMJ. view more (2002-11-20)
ESC reaffirms advice on cardiovascular risks associated with long-haul flights
Dr Steen Kristensen, Vice-president of the ESC, says: "Long distance flying is associated with an increase in deep venous thrombosis, which in some cases may lead to clotting of the lungs. People who are immobile, pregnant, taking contraceptive pills or have had venous thrombosis in the past are particularly at risk. view more (2009-02-25)
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)
