The potential benefit of the aspirin/warfarin association as an antithrombotic treatment has been matter of debate in view of the major haemorrhagic effect reported with this drug combination. We have tested the effect of such association in a model of venous thrombosis already shown to be prevented by a fully anticoagulant schedule of warfarin. CD-COBS male rats were treated for three days with either warfarin (0.1 mg/kg i.v. once a day) or salicylate (175 mg/kg i.p. twice a day) or their combination (W+S). Systemic anticoagulation (thrombotest), template bleeaing time and occurrence of experimental venous thrombosis (ligature of inferior vena cava) were followed. Treatment with W or S alone did not affect template bleeding time, whereas the association (W+S) did (320+35 sec versus 120± 10 sec in the control group, p<0.01). Thrombotest was only slightly prolonged by single drug treatment (W= 43%, S=48% versus 90% of controls) but strongly prolonged in the association group (S+W=5%; p<0.001). The mechanism of this combined effect may be multifaceted; competition of both drugs for protein binding and the anticoagulant effect of salicylate itself could contribute. In any case, neither the incidence nor the weight of the thrombus were reduced by any drug treatment. Thus, W+S, in contrast to W alone (<5% thrombotest), was unable to prevent or reduce venous thrombosis, while prolonging bleeding time. Bleeding complications reported in clinical trials by the association of W and aspirin might not be solely due to the antiplatelet effect of aspirin.

Введение: Тромбоциты являются ключевыми медиаторами патогенеза артериальных тромбозов и атеросклероза. Поэтому изучение антиагрегантных средств на предмет антитромботической активности на различных моделях артериальных и венозных тромбозов является актуальным. Цель исследования: изучение антитромботической активности соединения РУ-1144 (производного бензимидазола) в сравнении с ацетилсалициловой кислотой (АСК) и клопидогрелом на моделях артериального и венозного тромбозов. Материалы и методы: Артериальный тромбоз моделировали на сонной артерии крыс-самцов аппликацией постоянного электрического тока. Воздействие на сосуд выполняли до момента полной окклюзии, регистрируемой на мониторе доплерографа. Венозной тромбоз моделировали на крысах-самцах полной перевязкой нижней полой вены на 24 ч; через сутки проводили изъятие тромба из сосуда и его взвешивание. В экспериментальных группах животным внутрижелудочно вводили соединение РУ-1144 и препараты сравнения — АСК и клопидогрел, в контрольной группе животным внутрижелудочно вводили дистиллированную воду. Для подтверждения отсутствия влияния хирургических манипуляций на организм животного в исследование модели венозного тромбоза была включена группа ложнооперированных крыс. Результаты: На модели артериального тромбоза установлена более высокая антитромботическая активность соединения РУ-1144 по сравнению с АСК и клопидогрелом в 2,5 и 7,4 раза соответственно. В модели венозного тромбоза соединение РУ-1144 уменьшало среднюю массу венозных тромбов в 5,3 раза по сравнению с группой контроля и превосходило по антитромботической активности АСК и клопидогрел в 3,5 и 1,9 раза. Заключение: Соединение РУ-1144 способно предотвращать патологические процессы, связанные с тромбообразованием, не только в сонной артерии, но и в нижней полой вене. Background: Platelets are key mediators of the pathogenesis of arterial thrombosis and atherosclerosis. So, that is actual to study antithrombotic activity of antiplatelet agents in various models of arterial and venous thromboses. Objectives: to study the antithrombotic activity of RU-1144 compound (benzimidazole derivative) as compared with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and clopidogrel on models of arterial and venous thromboses. Materials/Methods: Arterial thrombosis was modeled on the carotid artery of male rats by application of direct electric current. Exposure was performed until full vessel occlusion recorded by Dopplerograf. Venous thrombosis was modeled on male rats by complete ligation of vena cava inferior for 24 hours; a day later the thrombus was removed from the vessel and weighed. In the experimental groups the animals were injected intragastrically with the compound RU-1144 and the comparison drugs — ASA and clopidogrel; in the control group the animals were administered distilled water intragastrically. To confirm the absence of the effect of surgical manipulations on the animal’s organism, a group of false-operated rats was included in the study of venous thrombosis model. Results: In arterial thrombosis model RU-1144 compound had a higher antithrombotic activity as compared with ASA and clopidogrel by 2.5 and 7.4 times, respectively. In venous thrombosis model RU-1144 compound reduced the average weight of venous clots by 5.3 times as compared with the control group and exceeded antithrombotic activity of ASA and clopidogrel by 3.5 and 1.9 times. Conclusions: RU-1144 compound capable to prevent the pathological processes associated with thrombus formation in carotid artery as well as in vena cava inferior.

Introduction Deep venous thrombosis treatment using catheter-directed thrombolysis is advocated over systemic thrombolysis because it reduces bleeding complications. With the development of a catheter that combines ultrasound vibrations and the local delivering of thrombolytics, new and safer treatments appear that are suitable for more complex problems. Report An adolescent male presented with bilateral iliofemoral thrombosis based on a hypoplastic inferior vena cava that had existed for more than two weeks. He was succesfully treated by bilateral ultrasound-accelerated catheter-directed thrombolysis using EkoSonic® (Small Vessel) Endovascular System (EKOS) and stenting of the inferior vena cava. After eight months of follow-up, the inferior vena cava is still patent. Conclusion EKOS thrombolysis of longer existing bilateral deep venous thrombosis in the central venous system is a succesful treatment modality in congenital inferior vena cava anomalies.

Aim. To decrease the one-year mortality rate in out-patients with malignancies undergoing periodic health examination.Methods. The study included 270 patients, who were examined and followed up. The main group included 140 patients, who monthly underwent ultrasonography of inferior vena cava branches during the first year of follow-up. The control group included 130 patients, in whom ultrasonography of inferior vena cava branches was performed only if clinical manifestations of venous thrombosis were registered.Results. Venous thrombosis was diagnosed in 35 patients of the main group, including 21 cases of venous thrombosis at very high risk for embolism. In control group, ultrasonography of inferior vena cava branches was performed in 13 patients who developed clinical manifestations of venous thromboembolic events, in whom 6 patients were diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis of the lower limbs, in 3 patients venous thrombosis was assessed as at very high risk for embolism. In 24 patients (21 in the main group and 3 in the control group), targeted measures to prevent pulmonary embolism were administered, including cava filter implantation, vein ligation above the venous thrombosis at very high risk for embolism site, and crossectomy. The rest of the patients were administered conservative prevention of thromboembolism. In the main group, no deaths associated with pulmonary embolism were registered. In the control group, 19 patients died due to developing pulmonary embolism.Conclusion. Preventive measures for pulmonary embolism, selected according to the results of timely ultrasound diagnosis of venous thrombosis, may reduce the one-year mortality rate in patients with cancer.

The placement of an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter is a therapeutic method for selected patients with deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. However, insertion and placement of the filter may be associated with certain complications. For instance, retroperitoneal hematoma resulting from perforation of the wall by the filter is such a very rare but serious complication. We report the case of a 64-year-old woman with perforation of the IVC wall and consecutive hematoma caused by the filter who was treated surgically.

Background. Important part of orthopaedic surgery is endoprosthetics of hip joints, which eliminates pain syndrome, restores the amplitude of movements and the support ability of the lower limb. But there is a number of complications; venous thromboembolism among them occupies a leading place. Material and methods. 219 patients with a mean age of 64.7 ± 3.8 years were operated. In 137 (62.1%) observations, total cement hip replacement was performed for osteoarthritis. 82 (37.4%) patients received total and unipolar cement hip replacement for cervical femoral neck fractures. Results. Clinical manifestations of non-specific connective tissue dysplasia were detected in 83 (37.9%) patients, which were confirmed by the laboratory determination of the level of general, bound and free oxyproline. In the postoperative period, the thrombotic process in the venous system of the inferior vena cava was diagnosed in 23 (10.5%) observations. Operative intervention on the hip joint in patients with nonspecific dysplasia of connective tissue in 11 (13.3%) cases was complicated by the development of venous thrombosis. In patients without non-specific connective tissue dysplasia, postoperative thrombosis in the system of the inferior vena cava was diagnosed in 12 (8.8%) observations. Conclusions. Patients with osteoarthrosis of the hip joint and the femoral neck fracture accompanied by the non-specific dysplasia of the connective tissue are characterized by expressed levels of endothelial dysfunction and increased activity of the blood-coagulation system.

Venous thrombosis (VT) results in vein wall injury by promoting inflammation and fibrosis leading to venous reflux, swelling, pain, and potentially, recurrent thrombosis. While prior work has shown that infiltrating leukocytes are important for VT resolution, as of yet, the precise roles of different leukocyte subsets are not well understood. Monocyte/macrophages (Mo/MΦs) are essential for the repair and resolution of tissue injury in other models, and come in inflammatory (Ly6C Hi ) or pro-resolution (Ly6C Lo ) subtypes. We hypothesized that infiltrating Mo/MΦs would be critical to VT resolution. In order to study this in vivo , we utilized a conditional macrophage depletion technique, using CD11b-DTR mice, to examine the effects of Mo/MΦs in a murine model of stasis VT by inferior vena cava ligation. Administration of 10ng/g diphtheria toxoid (DTx) every 48 hours by intra-peritoneal injection in CD11b-DTR mice resulted in an 89% and 55% decrease in circulating monocytes at 24hrs and 48hrs, respectively. When compared to saline controls, DTx injection had no effects on thrombogenic response or IVC thrombus cell populations in C57BL/6 control mice. At 8 days’ post-ligation, DTx treated CD11b-DTR mice had preferentially decreased vein wall-thrombus Ly6C Lo Mo/MΦs as compared with controls. DTx treated mice had significantly larger thrombi (1.7-fold) and less TGF-β, FSP-1, and plasminogen by western immunoblotting (all P-values ≤ 0.01). Consistent with a reduction in Ly6C Lo Mo/MΦs was a significant decrease in cellular TGF-β by intra-cellular flow cytometry. These findings suggest that Ly6C Lo Mo/MΦs are essential for normal VT resolution and may promote thrombus resolution via a plasminogen-mediated mechanism.
