Data describing the rate of, and risk factors associated with, recurrent TE in children with CHD are limited. We prospectively evaluated TE recurrence risk in children with CHD and acute TE and investigated clinical risk factors associated with recurrent TE. Patients < 21 years of age with CHD and acute TE were enrolled in a single-institutional prospective inception cohort study (July 2013-April 2024). Descriptive statistics summarized variables including CHD and thrombus characteristics, antithrombotic regimens, bleeding, and recurrent TE. Multivariable logistic regression determined risk factors for recurrent TE. Among 40 children with CHD and acute TE, 13 (33%) developed ≥ 1 recurrent TE (arterial <i>n</i> = 1 [6%], venous <i>n</i> = 15 [83%], venous + arterial <i>n</i> = 2 [11%]) at a median time of 86 (interquartile range, 45-112) days postdiagnosis of the index TE. One-year cumulative incidence of recurrent TE was 38%. Twelve (67%) recurrent TE events were central venous catheter (CVC)-related. In univariable analyses, immobility (46% vs. 7%, <i>p</i> = 0.01), the presence of a CVC (69% vs. 30%, <i>p</i> = 0.02), and lower extremity index venous TE (89% vs. 41%, <i>p</i> = 0.04) were associated with TE recurrence. After adjustment for other potential risk factors via multivariable logistic regression, immobility (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 13.2, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.16-151.3, <i>p</i> = 0.04) and the presence of a CVC (adjusted OR 5.28, 95% CI 1.03-27.1, <i>p</i> = 0.05) remained as independent risk factors for recurrent TE. The 1-year risk of TE recurrence was high among pediatric patients with CHD and acute TE. Immobility and the presence of CVC were independent risk factors for recurrent TE.

Central to these symptoms is vascular dysfunction rooted in thrombotic endothelialitis. We review the scientific evidence that widespread endothelial dysfunction (ED) leads to chronic symptomatology. We briefly examine the molecular pathways contributing to endothelial pathology and provide a detailed analysis of how these cellular processes underpin the clinical picture. Noninvasive diagnostic techniques, such as flow-mediated dilation and peripheral arterial tonometry, are evaluated for their utility in identifying ED. We then explore mechanistic, cellular-targeted therapeutic interventions for their potential in treating ED.

This review considers the growing body of evidence supporting associations between HAE and both a systemic procoagulant state and an increased risk of VTE.

Assessments of patient characteristics, prophylaxis, treatment, outcomes, and over time changes lack consistency.

Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the risks of the composite of fatal pulmonary embolism (PE) or recurrent VTE and major bleeding. The proportion of patients who presented with PE increased among medical (from 54 to 72%) and surgical patients (from 55 to 58%).
