The aim of this study was to evaluate the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and prothrombin time (PT)-based clot waveform analysis (CWA) in patients diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). APTT-based and PT-based CWA parameters of patients diagnosed with APL were analyzed and compared with healthy volunteers. Four APTT-CWA parameters were noted, maximum velocity corresponding to the first peak of the first derivative (max1), maximum acceleration corresponding to the first peak of the second derivative (max2) and the corresponding peak times of max1 and max2 (Tmax1, Tmax2)...

Interpretation of coagulation mixing studies is complicated by interference arising from direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), which are increasingly prescribed. In this retrospective study, we reviewed 1035 consecutive coagulation mixing studies performed from 2017 to 2021. Three hundred and ninety-nine cases with normal prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) were excluded. aPTT mixing studies were performed at time 0 and after 60 min of incubation. We confirmed the presence of interfering factors with additional laboratory testing, medication records, and medical history...

The ISTH-BAT is a structured bleeding assessment tool to record and help diagnose patients with possible bleeding disorders. However, a few studies evaluated the utility of ISTH-BAT in diagnosing patients with platelet function defects (PFDs). In this study, we evaluated the diagnostic utility of ISTH-BAT in predicting PFDs among patients suspected of PFDs. Forty patients suspected of PFDs and 21 normal healthy controls were evaluated by the ISTH-BAT scoring system, light transmission aggregometry (LTA), ATP-releasing assays (lumi-aggregometry), and expression of CD62P for diagnosis of PFDs...

Acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (aTTP) is a medical emergency requiring urgent plasma exchange and immunosuppressive agents. Recently, the therapeutic options have been expanded by the approval of a novel anti-von Willebrand factor (vWF) nanobody, caplacizumab, inhibiting vWF-platelet aggregation. Here, we present a rare case of a patient affected by immune-mediated TTP (iTTP) reporting ischemic stroke caused by a real iTTP exacerbation during caplacizumab administration and subsequent pancytopenia caused by cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection that mimicked another iTTP exacerbation...

INTRODUCTION: Treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients may require antithrombotic and/or anti-inflammatory medications. We hypothesized that individualized anticoagulant (AC) management, based on diagnosis of coagulopathy using thromboelastography with platelet mapping (TEG-PM), would decrease the frequency of pulmonary failure (PF) requiring mechanical ventilation (MV), mitigate thrombotic and hemorrhagic events, and, in-turn, reduce mortality. METHODS: Hospital-admitted COVID-19 patients, age 18 or older, with escalating oxygen requirements were included...

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a complex disorder characterized by widespread activation of blood clotting mechanisms throughout the body. Understanding the role of vascular endothelial glycocalyx in the pathogenesis and treatment of DIC is crucial for advancing our knowledge in this field. The vascular endothelial glycocalyx is a gel-like layer that coats the inner surface of blood vessels. It plays a significant role in maintaining vascular integrity, regulating fluid balance, and preventing excessive clotting...

Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is the most common valvular disease, and surgical or transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are the treatment options. Diminish in platelet production or dysfunction may occur due to shear stress, advanced age, and other coexisting diseases in AS patients. Bleeding is one of the complications of TAVR and associated with increased mortality. MPV (mean platelet volume) indicates platelet's thrombogenic activity. Overproduction or consumption of platelets in various cardiac conditions may affect MPV values...

Patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) are predisposed to a hypercoagulable state due to alterations in the coagulation system. Despite concern for the development of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in this population, there are no standardized guidelines for routine thromboprophylaxis. The objective of this study was to assess thromboprophylaxis practices of adult and pediatric treaters of SCD before and during the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. A cross-sectional electronic survey was distributed to pediatric and adult hematology oncology practitioners through seven SCD-specific interest groups between May 29, 2020, and July 13, 2020...

INTRODUCTION: In the absence of a patient's last direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) dose time, best practice regarding preoperative DOAC cessation remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate, in a real-life patient cohort, if there was an association between subjective patient recall and objective DOAC assay titre. METHODS/MATERIALS: A multicentre cohort study of consecutive surgical inpatients was conducted. DOAC assays were 'expected' if they satisfied both time and titre-based guidelines...

Acquired bleeding disorders because of an autoimmune phenomenon are rare events. Acquired von Willebrand disease (aVWD) has been estimated as having a prevalence of 400 per million in the general population. Acquired hemophilia A (AHA), the most common of the acquired hemophilias, has an estimated incidence of 1.3-1.5 cases per million per year. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) targeting PD-1, PD-L1, and CTLA-4 are being used with increasing frequency for hematologic and oncologic disorders. Acquired hemophilias and aVWD have been reported with the use of ICI therapy...

Glanzmann's Thrombasthenia (GT) is a rare hemorrhagic condition caused by a platelet surface receptor disorder of the glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa. Symptoms of GT are various forms of hemorrhages, such as purpura, epistaxis and menorrhagia. Gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) is a rare expression of the condition and may occur due to traumas in the GI tract or as a consequence of gastrointestinal angiodysplasia (GIADs). In this case report, we present a middle-aged woman with recurrent GIB consequent to GIADs with persistent melena and iron deficiency anemia...

Determinants of thrombotic events remain uncertain in patients with atrial fibrillation treated with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs). Our aim was to identify risk factors associated with thromboembolism in patients with at atrial fibrillation on DOACs and to construct and externally validate a predictive model that would provide a validated tool for clinical assessment of thromboembolism. In the development cohort, prediction model was built by logistic regression, the area under the curve (AUC), and Nomogram...

INTRODUCTION: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains a significant source of postinjury morbidity and mortality. Beta-hydroxy beta-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors (rosuvastatin) significantly reduced pathologic clotting events in healthy populations in a prior trial. Furthermore, acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) has been shown to be noninferior to prophylactic heparinoids for VTE prevention following orthopedic surgery. We hypothesized that a combination of rosuvastatin/ASA, in addition to standard VTE chemoprophylaxis, would reduce VTE in critically ill trauma patients...
