Venöse Thromboembolien (VTE), welche sich klinisch als tiefe Venenthrombose (TVT) oder akute Lungenembolie (LE) äussern, sind nach Myokardinfarkt und Schlaganfall die dritthäufigste akute kardiovaskuläre Erkrankung.
Die Forschungsgruppe der Klinik für Angiologie hat das Ziel, neuartige pharmakologische und interventionelle Strategien zur Behandlung akuter venöser Thromboembolien zu etablieren. Unsere Forschung umfasst multinationale, randomisierte, klinische Studien, prospektive Managementstudien, epidemiologische Analysen und praxisbasierte Beobachtungsstudien. Die Registerforschung dient der Erforschung von der Verbreitung und Ursachen von Krankheiten sowie klinischer Patterns zu deren Abklärung und Behandlung.
Professor Dr. med. Nils Kucher und Dr. med. habil. (I) Ph.D. Stefano Barco fungieren als Experten und Mitglieder bei internationalen Leitlinien und Konsensusdokumente zur Behandlung venöser Thromboembolien.
Die folgenden von uns initiierten Studien laufen an der Klinik für Angiologie und werden von der Universität Zürich gefördert:
Die Klinik für Angiologie ist an der Konzeption und Durchführung der folgenden multinationalen Studien und Beobachtungsprojekte beteiligt:
