Validation of the Sysmex CS5100 coagulation analyzer and comparison to the Stago STA-R analyzer for routine coagulation parameters University of Antwerp
IntroductionThe CS5100 analyzer (Sysmex) was validated for the determination of routine coagulation parameters. This fully automated coagulation analyzer uses multiple wavelength technology to perform coagulation (e.g., activated partial thromboplastin time - APTT, prothrombin time - PT, fibrinogen - FBG), chromogenic (e.g., antithrombin - AT) and immunological (e.g., D-dimers - DDi) assays. MethodsA comparison with the currently used STA-R ...
Fetoscopic laser coagulation of the vascular equator versus selective coagulation for twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome: an open-label randomised controlled trial KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: Monochorionic twin pregnancies complicated by twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome are typically treated with fetoscopic laser coagulation. Postoperative complications can occur due to residual vascular anastomoses on the placenta. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of a novel surgery technique that uses laser coagulation of the entire vascular equator (Solomon technique). METHODS: We undertook an open-label, international, ...
Assessment of sensitivity for coagulation factor deficiency in routine coagulation tests Ghent University
Comparison of coagulation monitoring using ROTEM and Sonoclot devices in cardiac surgery : a single-centre prospective observational study Ghent University
BACKGROUND: Viscoelastic tests (VETs) are recommended during cardiac surgery to monitor coagulation status and guide transfusion. We compared the results of two VETs, the Sonoclot Analyzer and the ROTEM Sigma. Agreement between viscoelastic tests' subdiagnoses and overall diagnosis severity was assessed. Correlations with conventional coagulation tests (CCT) and the discriminatory potential of numerical VET outputs for transfusion thresholds was ...

Hemodialysis Does Not Induce Detectable Activation of the Contact System of Coagulation Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Introduction: Systemic anticoagulation is administered during hemodialysis to prevent clotting of the extracorporeal circuit. The role of contact system activation in thrombin generation during hemodialysis using current era dialyzer membranes is unknown.
Methods: We performed a single-center randomized crossover study. Ten patients treated with hemodialysis underwent 3 standardized hemodialysis sessions. For every patient, each session ...
