Venous Thromboembolism After Intraventricular Hemorrhage: Results From the CLEAR III Trial

Abstract

AbstractBACKGROUNDVenous thromboembolism (VTE) after intracerebral hemorrhage is well studied, but data on patients with spontaneous intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) are limited.OBJECTIVETo study the factors associated with VTE, association between VTE and clinical outcomes in IVH, and safety of VTE chemoprophylaxis in IVH treated with intraventricular catheters and thrombolysis.METHODSRetrospective cohort study of patients enrolled in the CLEAR III trial, a multicenter, randomized trial comparing external ventricular drainage, with administration of intraventricular alteplase vs placebo, for obstructive IVH. Predictor variable was incident VTE in the first 30 d. Outcome measures were factors associated with VTE, and death/severe disability (modified Rankin Score 4-6) at 6 mo.RESULTSOf the 500 patients with IVH, VTE occurred in 59 patients (11.8%) within the first 30 d.
