Venous Thrombosis

Robotic-Assisted Inferior Vena Cava Filter Retrieval.

Although anticoagulation remains the mainstay of therapy for patients with venous thromboembolism, guidelines recommend the use of inferior vena cava (IVC) filters in those who fail anticoagulation or have contraindications to its use. Short-term use of filters has proven effective in reducing the rate of pulmonary embolism. However, their extended use is associated with a variety of complications...

Adverse Drug Event Monitoring with Clinical and Laboratory Data Using Arden Syntax.

In times of steadily increasing numbers of administered drugs, the detection of adverse drug events (ADEs) is an important aspect of improving patient safety. At present only about 1-13% of detected ADEs are reported. Raising the number of reported ADEs will result in greater and more efficient support of pharmacovigilance. Potential ADE's must be identified early. In the iMedication system, which...
