Prevention, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of thrombosis

Our department has a long-standing and strong interest in optimizing diagnostic management of various categories of patients with venous and arterial thrombotic disorders. Additionally, in this research programme, we focus on novel treatment modalities for established venous thrombosis and optimal clinical and research outcomes to capture the whole spectrum of long term sequalae of venous thrombosis.

We aim to develop validated diagnostic algorithms for frequent and rare venous thromboembolic disorders, including (recurrent) deep-vein thrombosis of the leg, arm and more rare sites, including splanchnic veins and cerebral veins. We make use of novel imaging techniques, including MRDTI. We aim to evaluate end of life decisions in anticoagulant care in venous and arterial indications. We aim to evaluate personalized decisions on duration of anticoagulation.

International collaboration

The research of is performed in collaboration with several partners, including national partners of the Dutch Thrombosis Network, which is part of the INVENT-VTE network. We are members of international guidelines of diagnosis and treatment of venous thromboembolism, including ACCP en ESC.
