Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with unprovoked venous thromboembolisms (VTEs) can be sub-classified based on the different phenotypes using a latent class analysis (LCA), which might be useful for selecting individual management strategies. METHODS In the COMMAND VTE Registry-2 database enrolling 5197 VTE patients, the current derivation cohort consisted of 1556 patients with unprovoked VTEs. We conducted clustering with an LCA, and the patients were classified into subgroups with the highest probability. We compared the clinical characteristics and outcomes among the developed subgroups. RESULTS This LCA model proposed 3 subgroups based on 8 clinically relevant variables, and classified 592, 813, and 151 patients as Class I, II, and III, respectively. Based on the clinical features, we named Class I the younger, Class II the older with a few comorbidities, and Class III the older with many comorbidities. The cumulative 3-year anticoagulation discontinuation rate was highest in the older with many comorbidities (Class III) (39.9 %, 36.1 %, and 48.4 %, P = 0.02). There was no significant difference in the cumulative 5-year incidence of recurrent VTEs among the 3 classes (12.8 %, 11.1 %, and 4.0 % P = 0.20), whereas the cumulative 5-year incidence of major bleeding was significantly higher in the older with many comorbidities (Class III) (7.8 %, 12.7 %, and 17.8 %, P = 0.04). CONCLUSION The current LCA revealed that patients with unprovoked VTEs could be sub-classified into further phenotypes depending on the patient characteristics. Each subclass phenotype could have different clinical outcomes risks especially a bleeding risk, which could have a potential benefit when considering the individual anticoagulation strategies.

Abstract
Statins were reported to have a potential effect of primary prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE), although that of secondary prevention remains uncertain. To investigate the association between statins use and recurrent VTE in the current era. The COMMAND VTE Registry-2 is a multicenter registry enrolling 5,197 consecutive VTE patients among 31 centers in Japan between January 2015 and August 2020. We divided the entire cohort into 2 groups according to statins use at the time of discharge; the statins (N = 865) and no statins groups (N = 4332). The statins group was older (72.9 vs. 66.7 years, P < 0.001), and less often had active cancer (22.0% vs. 30.4%, P < 0.001). The cumulative incidence of discontinuation of anticoagulation was significantly lower in the statins group (60.3% vs. 52.6%, Log-rank P < 0.001). The cumulative 5-year incidence of recurrent VTE was significantly lower in the statins group (6.8% vs. 10.1%, Log-rank P = 0.01). Even after adjusting for the confounders, the lower risk of the statins group relative to the no statins group remained significant for recurrent VTE (HR 0.65, 95% CI 0.45-0.91, P = 0.01). The cumulative 5-year incidence of major bleeding was significantly lower in the statins group (12.2% vs. 14.1%, Log-rank P = 0.04), although, after adjusting for the confounders, the risk of the statins group relative to the no statins group turned to be insignificant (HR 0.77, 95% CI 0.59-1.00, P = 0.054). In this large real-world VTE registry, statins use was significantly associated with a lower risk for the recurrent VTE in the current era.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Real-world data on clinical characteristics and outcomes related to the use of different direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) for cancer-associated venous thromboembolism (VTE) is lacking. METHODS The COMMAND VTE Registry-2 is a multicenter registry enrolling 5,197 consecutive patients with acute symptomatic VTE from 31 centers in Japan from January 2015-August 2020. Our study population comprised 1,197 patients with active cancer who were divided into the edoxaban (N=643, 54%), rivaroxaban (N=297, 25%), and apixaban (N=257, 22%) groups. RESULTS The cumulative 5-year incidence of recurrent VTE (9.3%, 10.2%, and 8.5%, respectively, P=0.82) and all-cause death (67.5%, 66.8%, and 63.8%, respectively, P=0.22) did not differ among the groups. Despite adjusting for confounders, the risks of recurrent VTE and all-cause death did not differ significantly among the groups. The cumulative 5-year incidence of major and clinically relevant bleeding was significantly lower in the rivaroxaban group than those in the other groups (22.6%, 14.0%, and 22.8%, P=0.04; and 37.6%, 26.8%, and 38.3%, P=0.01, respectively). After adjusting for confounders, in the rivaroxaban group, the risk for major bleeding was numerically lower (HR: 0.65, 95% CI: 0.40-1.01) and that of clinically relevant all bleeding was significantly lower (HR: 0.67, 95% CI: 0.48-0.92) than those in the edoxaban group. CONCLUSIONS The risks of recurrent VTE and all-cause death did not differ significantly among the different DOACs ; however, the risk of bleeding events could differ, with a potentially lower risk of bleeding with rivaroxaban.

Abstract
Aortic mural thrombus (AMT) in the absence of aneurysm or atherosclerosis is a rare clinical finding and an uncommon cause of peripheral arterial embolization. AMT in a normal artery is usually attributed to systemic hypercoagulability. We describe a case of subacute lower limb ischemia due to AMT associated with active ulcerative colitis (UC). A 46-year-old man with active UC was referred to our hospital for the evaluation and treatment of left leg pain. Ultrasound and contrast computed tomography showed occlusion of the left popliteal artery, and an AMT in the abdominal aorta between the inferior mesenteric artery and the aortic bifurcation. We started anticoagulant therapy, intravenous infliximab, and cytapheresis. Four weeks after initiating anticoagulation therapy, we were able to successfully treat the AMT with anticoagulation therapy without surgical thrombectomy. The inflammatory status of ulcerative colitis was also under control, and AMT had not recurred at 1 year after treatment. Invasive therapies are often selected to treat AMT. However, if a patient's hypercoagulable state is controlled, AMT can safely be treated with anticoagulation therapy alone without recurrence.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is limited data on the safety of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in fragile patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE). MATERIALS AND METHODS We used the COMMAND VTE Registry-2 enrolling patients with acute symptomatic VTE. The study population consisted of 3928 patients receiving DOACs, who were divided into fragile (2136 patients) and non-fragile groups (1792 patients). Fragility was defined as patients of age ≥ 75 years, creatinine clearance level ≤ 50 ml/min, and/or body weight ≤ 50 kg. RESULTS The fragile group significantly more often received reduced doses of DOACs compared to the non-fragile group (51 % and 19 %, P < 0.001). The cumulative 5-year incidence of major bleeding was numerically higher in the fragile group than the non-fragile group (15.0 % and 11.1 %, P = 0.052), even with no significant excess risk after adjusting for confounders (HR 1.03, 95%CI 0.81-1.31, P = 0.78). The cumulative 5-year incidence of clinically relevant bleeding was significantly higher in the fragile group than the non-fragile group (28.6 % and 19.6 %, P < 0.001), even after adjusting for confounders (HR 1.28, 95%CI 1.08-1.53, P = 0.005). There was no significant difference in cumulative 5-year incidence of recurrent VTE between the groups (9.6 % and 8.9 %, P = 0.68), which was consistent after adjusting for confounders (HR 1.13, 95%CI 0.84-1.51, P = 0.41). CONCLUSIONS Among VTE patients receiving DOACs, fragile patients were associated with a numerically higher rate of major bleeding and a significantly increased risk of clinically relevant bleeding, but not an increased risk of recurrent VTE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with appropriately selected low-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) can be treated at home, although it has been controversial whether applies to patients with cancer, who are considered not to be at low risk.Methods and Results: The current predetermined companion report from the ONCO PE trial evaluated the 3-month clinical outcomes of patients with home treatment and those with in-hospital treatment. The ONCO PE trial was a multicenter, randomized clinical trial among 32 institutions in Japan investigating the optimal duration of rivaroxaban treatment in cancer-associated PE patients with a score of 1 using the simplified version of the Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (sPESI). Among 178 study patients, there were 66 (37%) in the home treatment group and 112 (63%) in the in-hospital treatment group. The primary endpoint of a composite of PE-related death, recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) and major bleeding occurred in 3 patients (4.6% [0.0-9.6%]) in the home treatment group and in 2 patients (1.8% [0.0-4.3%]) in the in-hospital treatment group. In the home treatment group, there were no cases of PE-related death or recurrent VTE, but major bleeding occurred in 3 patients (4.6% [0.0-9.6%]), and 2 patients (3.0% [0.0-7.2%]) required hospitalization due to bleeding events. CONCLUSIONS Active cancer patients with PE of sPESI score=1 could be potential candidates for home treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a paucity of data on real-world management strategies and clinical outcomes of cancer-associated venous thromboembolism (VTE) in the direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) era. OBJECTIVES To investigate the status of cancer-associated VTE in the DOAC era. METHODS This multicenter, retrospective cohort study among 31 centers in Japan between 2015 and 2020 enrolled 5197 consecutive patients with acute symptomatic VTE, who were divided into 1507 patients (29 %) with active cancer and 3690 patients (71 %) without. RESULTS The cumulative 3-year rate of anticoagulation discontinuation was significantly higher in patients with active cancer than in those without (62.7 % vs. 59.1 %, P < 0.001). The cumulative 5-year incidence of recurrent VTE was higher in patients with active cancer than in those without (10.1 % vs. 9.1 %, P = 0.01), however, after adjusting for the confounders and competing risk of mortality, the excess risk of the active cancer group relative to the no active cancer group was no longer significant (HR: 0.95, 95 % CI: 0.73-1.24). The cumulative 5-year incidence of major bleeding was much higher in the active cancer group (20.4 % vs. 11.6 %, P < 0.001). Even after adjusting for the confounders and competing risk of mortality, the risk of the active cancer group relative to the no active cancer group remained significant (HR: 1.36, 95 % CI: 1.11-1.66). CONCLUSIONS The current large real-world registry revealed that the risk of major bleeding was still higher in patients with active cancer than in those without, leading to the frequent anticoagulation discontinuation, which has been still a huge challenge to overcome in the DOAC era.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The RIETE score could be specifically useful for identification of low-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) patients for home treatment. However, the external validation of the RIETE score has been limited. METHODS The COMMAND VTE Registry is a multicenter registry enrolling consecutive patients with acute symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE). The current study population consisted of 1479 patients with acute PE, who were divided into 2 groups; RIETE scores of 0 (N = 260) and ≥ 1 (N = 1219). RESULTS The cumulative 10-day and 30-day incidences of a composite endpoint of all-cause death, recurrent PE, or major bleeding were lower in patients with the RIETE score of 0 than in those with the RIETE score of ≥1 (10-day: 0.4 % vs. 6.7 %, P < 0.001, and 30-day: 0.4 % vs. 10.0 %, P < 0.001). The area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC) in the RIETE score for the 10-day composite endpoint showed numerically better predictive ability than that in the sPESI score (0.77 vs. 0.73, P = 0.07), and the AUC in the RIETE score for the 30-day composite endpoint showed significantly better predictive ability than that in the sPESI score (0.77 vs. 0.71, P = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS The RIETE score was well validated in the current large real-world registry. The RIETE score of 0 could identify patients with reasonably low risks of the 10-day and 30-day composite endpoint of all-cause death, recurrent PE, or major bleeding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is still a scarcity of data on the relation between age and long-term clinical outcomes of patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE). METHODS The COMMAND VTE Registry was a multicenter registry enrolling 3027 consecutive patients with acute symptomatic VTE in Japan between January 2010 and August 2014. We divided the entire cohort into 3 groups: patients aged <65 years (N = 1100, 36.7%), patients aged 65 ≤ and ≤ 80 years (N = 1314, 43.4%), and patients aged >80 years (N = 603, 19.9%). RESULTS Discontinuation of anticoagulation therapy during the follow-up period was most frequent in patients aged <65 years (44%, 38% and 33%, P < 0.001). The cumulative 5-year incidences were 12.7%, 9.8% and 7.4% for recurrent VTE, 10.8%, 12.2% and 14.9% for major bleeding, and 23.0%, 31.4%, and 38.6% for all-cause death. Adjusting for cofounders and taking into account the competing risk of all-cause death, the lower risk of patients aged >80 years, and those aged 65 ≤ and ≤ 80 years relative to those aged <65 years remained significant for recurrent VTE (65 ≤ age ≤ 80 years, HR: 0.71, 95%CI: 0.53-0.94, P = 0.02; age > 80 years, HR: 0.59, 95%CI: 0.39-0.89, P = 0.01), and the risk remained insignificant for major bleeding (65 ≤ age ≤ 80 years, HR: 1.00, 95%CI: 0.76-1.31, P = 0.98; age > 80 years, HR: 1.17, 95%CI: 0.83-1.65, P = 0.37). CONCLUSIONS In the current real-world VTE registry, there was no significant difference in the risk of major bleeding depending on different age groups, while younger patients showed an excess risk for recurrent VTE compared with older patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It remains unclear whether the Academic Research Consortium for High Bleeding Risk (ARC-HBR) criteria could apply to peripheral artery disease (PAD) patients undergoing endovascular therapy (EVT). AIMS We sought to evaluate the application of the ARC-HBR criteria to PAD patients undergoing EVT with contemporary drug-coated devices (DCD) for femoropopliteal artery lesions. METHODS Between May 2012 and December 2019, 542 consecutive patients undergoing EVT with DCD for femoropopliteal artery lesions were retrospectively analysed. The primary study endpoint was major bleeding events, defined as Bleeding Academic Research Consortium type 3 or 5. RESULTS Of 542 patients, 435 (80.3%) were stratified into the HBR group. The cumulative 5-year incidence of major bleeding events was significantly higher in the HBR group than in the non-HBR group (31.9% vs 2.3%; p<0.001). The 5-year major bleeding event rate gradually increased with the number of ARC-HBR criteria (≥2 major criteria: 48.6%, 1 major: 33.1%, ≥2 minor: 12.9%, and non-HBR: 2.3%; p<0.001). Major bleeding events were associated with a 5.4-fold increased risk of mortality (adjusted hazard ratio: 5.42, 95% confidence interval: 2.91-10.1; p<0.001). Severe chronic kidney disease, heart failure, and severe anaemia were predictors of major bleeding events. CONCLUSIONS 80.3% of PAD patients undergoing EVT for femoropopliteal artery lesions with contemporary drug-coated devices met the ARC-HBR criteria. Given that major bleeding events remarkably increased the risk of mortality after EVT, the ARC-HBR criteria might be helpful for the risk stratification of PAD patients who undergo EVT with contemporary DCD.

Abstract
Data on the impact of heart rate (HR) at diagnosis on clinical outcomes in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) remain scarce. The present study population consisted of 1,532 patients with PE; the patients were divided into 4 groups, including (1) HR <80 beats/min (n = 451, 29%), (2) 80 ≤HR <100 beats/min (n = 620, 40%), (3) 100 ≤HR <110 beats/min (n = 215, 14%), and (4) HR ≥110 beats/min (n = 246, 16%). The cumulative 30-day incidences of all-cause death were significantly higher in the 100 ≤HR <110 and HR ≥110 beats/min groups than in the HR <80 beats/min group. Incidences were 2.7%, 3.6%, 6.6%, and 5.7% (p = 0.04) in the HR <80 beats/min, 80 ≤HR <100 beats/min, 100 ≤HR <110 beats/min, and HR ≥110 beats/min groups, respectively. With the HR <80 beats/min group as reference, the 100 ≤HR <110 and HR ≥110 groups, but not the 80 ≤HR <100 group, were significantly associated with an increased risk of 30-day all-cause death. Hazard ratio was 2.53 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.17 to 5.56, p = 0.02) for the 80 ≤HR <100 beats/min group, 2.20 (95% CI 1.02 to 4.84, p = 0.046) for the 100 ≤HR <110 beats/min group, and 1.34 (95% CI 0.67 to 2.79, p = 0.41) for the HR ≥110 beats/min group. The cumulative 30-day incidences of all-cause death in patients with simplified Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index score = 0 were 0.6%, 0.3%, and 0.7% when based on cut-off values of HR ≥110 beats/min, HR ≥100 beats/min, and ≥80 beats/min, respectively. Patients with moderate tachycardia (100 ≤HR <110) seemed to be at comparable risk of 30-day all-cause death to those with HR ≥110 beats/min and at higher risk of 30-day all-cause death than those with HR <80 beats/min; this may suggest a potential benefit of the alternative cut-off value of HR ≥100 beats/min in the simplified Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index score for identification of low-risk patients.

Abstract
There is a paucity of data on management strategies and clinical outcomes after recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE). In a multicenter registry enrolling 3027 patients with acute symptomatic VTE, the current study population was divided into the following 3 groups: (1) First recurrent VTE during anticoagulation therapy (N = 110); (2) First recurrent VTE after discontinuation of anticoagulation therapy (N = 116); and (3) No recurrent VTE (N = 2801). Patients with first recurrent VTE during anticoagulation therapy more often had active cancer (45, 25 and 22%, P < 0.001). Among 110 patients with first recurrent VTE during anticoagulation therapy, 84 patients (76%) received warfarin at recurrent VTE with the median prothrombin time-international normalized ratio (PT-INR) value at recurrent VTE of 1.6, although patients with active cancer had a significantly higher median PT-INR value at recurrent VTE compared with those without active cancer (2.0 versus 1.4, P < 0.001). Within 90 days after recurrent VTE, 23 patients (20.9%) during anticoagulation therapy and 24 patients (20.7%) after discontinuation of anticoagulation therapy died. Active cancer was a major cause of recurrent VTE during anticoagulation therapy as a patient-related factor, while sub-optimal intensity of anticoagulation therapy was a major cause of recurrent VTE during anticoagulation therapy as a treatment-related factor, particularly in patients without active cancer.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is still a scarcity of data on causes of long-term mortality in patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE). MATERIALS AND METHODS The COMMAND VTE Registry is a physician-initiated, retrospective, multicenter cohort study in which consecutive 3027 patients with acute symptomatic VTE among 29 centers in Japan were included between January 2010 and August 2014. We investigated detailed causes and risk factors for long-term mortality. RESULTS During a median observation period of 1218 days, a total of 764 patients died, and the prevalence of active cancer was higher in patients who died than in patients alive (61 % versus 10 %, P < 0.001). The cumulative incidences of cardiac death, pulmonary embolism (PE)-related death, bleeding death, cancer death, and non-cardiovascular non-cancer death were 2.2 %, 2.9 %, 2.0 %, 16.1 %, and 6.7 % at 5 years, respectively. The incidence of cancer death increased gradually, which was the most common cause of long-term death. Among patients without active cancer, the incidence of PE-related death increased rapidly and became a plateau beyond the acute phase, whereas the incidence of non-cardiovascular non-cancer death kept increasing, which became most common in the long term. The separate multivariable analysis among patient with and without active cancer identified independent risk factors of all-cause death including a few patient characteristics among patients with active cancer and several patient characteristics among patients without active cancer. CONCLUSIONS Cancer was the most common cause of long-term mortality, while non-cardiovascular non-cancer death became most common among patients without active cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Elevated lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]) levels are an independent risk factor for the development of atherosclerotic diseases, including peripheral artery disease (PAD). However, their prognostic impact in patients with PAD remains unknown. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to examine the prognostic impact of elevated Lp(a) levels in patients with PAD undergoing endovascular therapy (EVT). METHODS In total, 1,169 patients who underwent successful EVT for symptomatic PAD between September 2016 and August 2021 were included in this study. High Lp(a) levels were defined as >30 mg/dL. The associations of high Lp(a) levels with incident major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (all-cause death, myocardial infarction, and stroke) and major adverse limb events (MALE) (repeat revascularization for target limb and major amputation) were analyzed. RESULTS During a median follow-up period of 1.7 years (IQR: 0.6-3.0 years), 230 MACE (210 deaths, 15 myocardial infarctions, and 22 strokes) and 263 MALE (219 reinterventions and 36 major amputations) were observed. The cumulative incidence rate of MACE (48.1% vs 27.3%) and MALE (67.9% vs 27.2%) was significantly higher in patients with high Lp(a) levels (P < 0.001 for both). The adjusted HR were 1.93 (95% CI: 1.44-2.59; P < 0.001) for MACE and 4.15 (95% CI: 3.14-5.50; P < 0.001) for MALE. These associations were not influenced by low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels or statin administration (P for interaction >0.05 for all). CONCLUSIONS Elevated Lp(a) levels were independently associated with incident MACE and MALE in patients with PAD treated with revascularization irrespective of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level and statin administration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vitamin K antagonist (VKA) remains an essential option for venous thromboembolism (VTE), although direct oral anticoagulants have become available. However, there is a paucity of data on the optimal intensity and quality of control for VKA in Japanese. METHODS The COMMAND VTE Registry is a multicenter registry enrolling consecutive 3027 patients with acute symptomatic VTE among 29 centers in Japan. The current study population consisted of 1938 patients who received VKA with prothrombin time-international normalized ratio (PT-INR) measurement >5 times. The primary outcome measure was a composite of symptomatic VTE recurrence or major bleeding at 1 year. The presumed optimal quality of VKA therapy was defined as the combination of PT-INR range and time in therapeutic range (TTR) with the numerically lowest event rate. RESULTS The group with TTR ≥70 % based on PT-INR range ≥1.5 and <2.0 showed the lowest cumulative incidence rate. The cumulative 1-year incidence and the adjusted risk for the primary outcome measure were significantly lower in the optimal quality group than in the non-optimal quality group (5.2 % vs. 11.7 %, p = 0.001, and HR 0.49, 95%CI 0.28-0.81). Similarly, the cumulative 1-year incidences of a recurrent VTE, major bleeding, and all-cause death were significantly lower in the optimal quality group (recurrent VTE: 2.5 % vs. 6.0 %, p = 0.02; major bleeding: 2.8 % vs. 7.0 %, p = 0.008; and all-cause death: 2.8 % vs. 12.6 %, p < 0.0001). The lower risk of the optimal quality group relative to non-optimal quality group for the clinical outcomes was consistent regardless of the etiology of VTE (active cancer, transient risk factor, and unprovoked). CONCLUSIONS The current VTE registry showed the optimal intensity of VKA therapy was target PT-INR range ≥1.5 and <2.0, which could support the current Japanese guideline recommendation, and the good quality of control for VKA therapy of TTR ≥70 % was independently associated with better outcomes.

Abstract
Cholesterol crystal embolism (CCE) is a serious complication that occurs after cardiac and vascular procedures. CCE involves multiple organs, and the prognosis and renal function of patients is poor. Although the efficacy of steroid, statin, and low-density lipoprotein apheresis has been reported, no definitive treatment has been established. We herein report three consecutive cases treated with conventional steroid therapy with proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitor after catheterization. The renal function was preserved, steroid therapy was stopped, and wound healing of blue toes was achieved. PCSK9 inhibitor therapy was safe in the present patient and may be a potential treatment option for CCE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited data are available regarding the vascular response after fluoropolymer paclitaxel-eluting stent (FP-PES) implantation. This study sought to assess the vascular response at 6 and 12 months after FP-PES implantation for femoropopliteal artery lesions using serial optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination.Methods and Results:From the IMPERIAL trial, this study evaluated 10 de novo femoropopliteal lesions treated with FP-PES. The primary study endpoint was neointimal tissue coverage at a 6- and 12-month follow up, as assessed by serial OCT examination. The incidence of peri-strut low-intensity area (PLIA) and extra-stent lumen (ESL) was also assessed. A total of 203 matched cross-sectional images were evaluated at 6 and 12 months (5,615 and 5,763 struts, respectively). From 6 to 12 months, the mean neointimal thickness tended to increase from 198 µm to 233 µm, with a significant reduction in the incidence of malapposed struts (0.59% vs. 0.28%, P=0.039). Conversely, uncovered struts and PLIA were more frequently observed at 12 months (4.4% vs. 7.8%, P=0.01; 12.7% vs. 21.0%, P<0.001, respectively). The ESL area significantly increased over time without any difference in its incidence (0.24±0.32 mm2vs. 0.38±0.36 mm2, P=0.009). CONCLUSIONS Neointimal proliferation was markedly inhibited from 6 to 12 months after FP-PES implantation, whereas the incidence of uncovered struts and PLIA significantly increased over time with the enlargement of ESL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a paucity of data on the long-term clinical outcomes according to the severity of pulmonary embolism (PE) at initial diagnosis. METHODS The COMMAND VTE Registry is a multicenter registry enrolling 3027 consecutive patients with acute symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE). After excluding 1312 patients without PE, the current study population consisted of 1715 patients with PE, who were divided into 3 groups according to the clinical severity; massive PE, sub-massive PE and low-risk PE. RESULTS There were 179 patients (10%) with massive PE, 742 patients (43%) with sub-massive PE, and 794 patients (46%) with low-risk PE. By the landmark analysis at 3 months, the cumulative incidences of recurrent VTE were similar among the 3 groups both within and beyond 3 months (Massive PE: 2.9%, Sub-massive PE: 4.2%, and Low-risk PE: 3.3%, P = 0.61, and 4.3%, 8.8%, and 7.8% at 5 years, P = 0.47, respectively). After adjusting confounders, the risk of massive PE relative to low-risk PE for recurrent VTE beyond 3 months remained insignificant (adjusted HR 0.54, 95% CI: 0.13-1.51, P = 0.27). Patients with massive PE at initial diagnosis more often presented as severe recurrent PE events than those with sub-massive and low-risk PE. CONCLUSIONS In the current real-world large registry, the long-term risk of overall recurrent VTE in patients with massive PE at initial diagnosis did not significantly differ from those with sub-massive and low-risk PE beyond 3 months, although patients with massive PE at initial diagnosis more frequently developed recurrent VTE as PE with severe clinical presentation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Limited data is available regarding the vascular response after fluoropolymer paclitaxel-eluting stent (FP-PES) implantation. We sought to assess the vascular response at 6- and 12-month after FP-PES implantation for femoropopliteal artery lesions using serial optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination.
Methods and results
From the IMPERIAL trial, this study evaluated 10 de novo femoropopliteal lesions treated with FP-PES. The primary study endpoint was neointimal tissue coverage at 6- and 12-month follow-up as assessed by serial OCT examination. The incidence of peri-strut low-intensity area (PLIA) and extra-stent lumen (ESL) was also assessed. A total of 203 matched cross-sectional images were evaluated at 6- and 12-month (5,615 and 5,763 struts, respectively). From 6 to 12 months, the mean neointimal thickness tended to increase from 198 μm to 233 μm with a significant reduction in the incidence of malapposed struts (0.59% vs. 0.28%, p=0.039). Conversely, uncovered struts and PLIA were more frequently observed at 12 months (4.4% vs. 7.8%, p=0.01; 12.7% vs. 21.0%, p<0.001, respectively). The ESL area significantly increased over time without any difference in its incidence (0.24±0.32 mm2 vs. 0.38±0.36 mm2, p=0.009).
Conclusions
Neointimal proliferation was markedly inhibited from 6 to 12 months after FP-PES implantation, whereas the incidence of uncovered struts and PLIA significantly increased over time with the enlargement of ESL.

Abstract
Anticoagulation therapy is prescribed for the prevention of recurrence in patients with venous thromboembolism, which could be temporarily interrupted during invasive procedures. The COMMAND VTE Registry is a multicenter registry enrolling 3027 consecutive patients with acute symptomatic VTE in Japan between January 2010 and August 2014. We identified patients who underwent invasive procedures during the entire follow-up period and evaluated periprocedural managements and clinical outcomes at 30 days after invasive procedures. During a median follow-up period of 1213 (IQR: 847-1764) days, 518 patients underwent invasive procedures with the cumulative incidences of 5.8% at 3 months, 11.1% at 1 year, and 24.0% at 5 years. Among 382 patients in high bleeding-risk category of invasive procedures, anticoagulation therapy had been discontinued already in 62 patients (16%) and interrupted temporarily in 288 patients (75%) during the invasive procedures with bridging anticoagulation therapy with heparin in 214 patients (56%). Among 80 patients in low bleeding-risk category, anticoagulation therapy had been already discontinued in 15 patients (19%) and interrupted temporarily in 31 patients (39%) during invasive procedure with bridging anticoagulation therapy with heparin in 17 patients (21%). At 30 days after the invasive procedures, 14 patients (2.7%) experienced recurrent VTE, while 28 patients (5.4%) had major bleeding. This study elucidated the real-world features of peri-procedural management and prognosis in patients with VTE who underwent invasive procedures during follow-up in the large multicenter VTE registry. The 30-day incidence rates of recurrent VTE and major bleeding events were 2.7% and 5.4%.

Abstract
Prolonged anticoagulation therapy is recommended for patients with intermediate-risk for recurrence of venous thromboembolism (VTE). The current study aimed to identify risk factors of VTE recurrence and major bleeding in intermediate-risk patients. The COMMAND VTE Registry is a multicenter registry enrolled consecutive 3027 patients with acute symptomatic VTE among 29 centers in Japan. The current study population consisted of 1703 patients with intermediate-risk for recurrence. The primary outcome measure was recurrent VTE during the entire follow-up period, and the secondary outcome measures were recurrent VTE and major bleeding during anticoagulation therapy. In the multivariable Cox regression model for recurrent VTE incorporating the status of anticoagulation therapy as a time-updated covariate, off-anticoagulation therapy was strongly associated with an increased risk for recurrent VTE (HR 9.42, 95% CI 5.97-14.86). During anticoagulation therapy, the independent risk factor for recurrent VTE was thrombophilia (HR 3.58, 95% CI 1.56-7.50), while the independent risk factors for major bleeding were age ≥ 75 years (HR 2.04, 95% CI 1.36-3.07), men (HR 1.52, 95% CI 1.02-2.27), history of major bleeding (HR 3.48, 95% CI 1.82-6.14) and thrombocytopenia (HR 3.73, 95% CI 2.04-6.37). Among VTE patients with intermediate-risk for recurrence, discontinuation of anticoagulation therapy was a very strong independent risk factor of recurrence during the entire follow-up period. The independent risk factors of recurrent VTE and those of major bleeding during anticoagulation therapy were different: thrombophilia for recurrent VTE, and advanced age, men, history of major bleeding, and thrombocytopenia for major bleeding.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive ability of frailty for bleeding after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). In 2439 patients who underwent their PCI, frailty was prospectively assessed according to the Canadian Study of Health and Aging clinical frailty scale (CFS). Patients were divided into three groups according to the CFS: low (CFS levels 1 to 3; 1748 patients, 71.7%), intermediate (CFS levels 4 to 6; 519 patients, 21.3%), and high CFS groups (CFS levels 7 to 9; 172 patients, 7.1%). Academic Research Consortium High Bleeding Risk (ARC-HBR) was present in 47.3% in the low CFS group, in 83.2% in the intermediate CFS group and in 89.0% in the high CFS group (p <0.001). Patients in the intermediate and high CFS groups were associated with higher 1-year major bleeding risk after PCI in the overall cohort (HR 3.82, 95% CI 2.65 to 5.51, p <0.001, and HR 7.81, 95% CI 5.07 to 12.0, p <0.001, respectively). Patients in the high CFS group were also associated with higher 1-year major bleeding risk regardless of having the high bleeding risk (HBR) according to ARC-HBR. In conclusion, the association of frailty with 1-year major bleeding was consistently observed in patients with and without HBR, indicating that frailty per se might be a predictor for major bleeding after PCI on top of HBR criteria.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To estimate the impact of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) who underwent balloon angioplasty for isolated infrapopliteal lesion. METHODS The study was performed as a single-center, prospective maintained database, retrospective analysis. Between January 2013 and December 2018, consecutive 155 CLTI patients (155 limbs) who primarily underwent balloon angioplasty for de novo isolated infrapopliteal atherosclerotic lesions with Rutherford category class 4 or 5 were identified (IVUS-guided: 92 patients, angio-guided: 63 patients) and included in the analysis. We compared clinical outcomes in IVUS-guided group with that in angio-guided group. The primary endpoint was limb salvage without any reintervention. The main secondary endpoints were wound healing rate and time to wound healing in the tissue loss group. RESULT Patient and limb characteristics were similar between the two groups. The IVUS-guided group was treated with a larger balloon size for all types of below-the-knee vessel (p < .001), although lesion characteristics, including the QVA-measured vessel diameter, were similar between the two groups. The IVUS-guided group had a higher rate of limb salvage without any reintervention than the angio-guided group (p = 0028). Whereas limb salvage and overall survival was not significantly different. Wound healing was significantly earlier and the time to wound healing was significantly shorter (84 ± 55 days vs. 135 ± 118 days, p = .007) in the IVUS-guided group. CONCLUSION Limb salvage rate without any reintervention in IIVUS-guided balloon angioplasty group was significantly higher than that in angio-guided balloon angioplasty group in patients with CLTI due to isolated infrapopliteal disease.

Abstract
The relationship between D-dimer level at diagnosis and long-term clinical outcomes has not been fully evaluated in venous thromboembolism (VTE). The COMMAND VTE Registry is a multicenter registry enrolling consecutive acute symptomatic VTE patients in Japan. Patients with available D-dimer levels at diagnosis (N = 2852) were divided into 4 groups according to the D-dimer levels; Quartile 1 (0.0-4.9 µg/mL): N = 682, Quartile 2 (5.0-9.9 µg/mL) N = 694, Quartile 3 (10.0-19.9 µg/mL) N = 710, and Quartile 4 (≥ 20.0 µg/mL): N = 766. The cumulative incidence of all-cause death was higher in Quartile 4 throughout the entire follow-up period (19.9%, 24.9%, 28.8%, and 41.5% at 5-year, P < 0.0001), as well as both within and beyond 30-day. After adjustment, the excess risk of Quartile 4 relative to Quartile 1 for all-cause death remained significant (HR 1.60, 95% CI 1.29-2.03). Similarly, the excess risk of Quartile 4 relative to Quartile 1 for recurrent VTE was significant (HR 1.57, 95% CI 1.02-2.41), which was more prominent in the cancer subgroup. The dominant causes of death in Quartile 4 were pulmonary embolism within 30-day, and cancer beyond 30-day. In conclusions, in VTE patients, elevated D-dimer levels at diagnosis were associated with the increased risk for both short-term and long-term mortality. The higher mortality risk of patients with highest D-dimer levels was driven by the higher risk for fatal PE within 30-day, and by the higher risk for cancer death beyond 30-day. Elevated D-dimer levels were also associated with the increased risk for long-term recurrent VTE, which was more prominent in patients with active cancer.

Abstract
The optimal revascularization for in-stent occlusion (ISO) lesions after femoropopliteal (FP) bare-nitinol stenting has not been established. We, therefore, investigated the comparison between drug-coated stent (DCS) implantation and bypass surgery (BSX) for ISO lesions after FP bare-nitinol stenting. This study was a dual-center, observational study from January 2004 to December 2015. A total of 172 ISO lesions were observed, and after excluding 120 ISO lesions, 52 ISO lesions (50 patients; mean age, 71.0 ± 9.2 years; male, 59.6%) after FP bare-nitinol stenting were enrolled. The included patients with clinical symptoms underwent either DCS implantation (n = 28) or BSX (n = 22). The primary endpoint was recurrent in-stent restenosis (ReISR); secondary endpoints were recurrent target lesion revascularization (ReTLR), recurrent occlusion (reocclusion) and major adverse limb events (MALE), and perioperative complications (POCs), respectively. ReISR or reocclusion was defined as ISR or occlusion after TLR. Stent restenosis was defined as a peak systolic velocity ratio (PSVR) > 2.4 on a duplex scan or ≥ 50% stenosis on angiography. Graft restenosis was defined as a PSV > 300 cm/s and velocity ratio 3.5 or uniformly low PSV < 45 cm/s throughout the entire graft based on graft surveillance. The mean follow-up period was 36.6 ± 25.5 months. At 2 years, the rates of freedom from ReISR, ReTLR, and MALE were not significantly different between the DCS implantation and BSX groups (68.9% vs. 73.7%, p = 0.81; 84.7% vs. 73.7%, p = 0.45; 84.7% vs. 78.6%, p = 0.60, respectively). However, the freedom from reocclusion rate was significantly lower in the DCS implantation group (81.6% vs. 100%, p = 0.04). The occurrence of POCs was not significantly different between the DCS implantation and BSX groups (7.1% vs 4.2%, p = 1.0). Although BSX was the gold-standard therapy for ISO lesions after FP bare-nitinol stenting, DCS implantation might be a good option because the rates of freedom from ReISR, ReTLR, and MALE were similar.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a paucity of data comparing the long-term outcomes after inferior vena cava (IVC) filters placement for patients with acute venous thromboembolism (VTE) between those with and without active cancer. METHODS In the COMMAND VTE Registry, we evaluated the effects of IVC filter use on the long-term clinical outcomes stratified by the presence and absence of active cancer. RESULTS Among 2,626 patients with acute symptomatic VTE, there were 604 patients with active cancer, and 2022 patients without active cancer. IVC filters were placed and not retrieved in 455 patients (17%) in the entire cohort, in 150 patients (24.8%) in the active cancer stratum, and in 305 patients (15.1%) in the non-cancer stratum. In the entire cohort, non-retrieved IVC filter placement was not associated with a lower adjusted risk for PE recurrence (HR 0.59, 95% CI 0.30-1.15, P = 0.122), but with an increased adjusted risk for DVT recurrence (HR 2.27, 95% CI 1.43-3.60, P<0.001). In the non-cancer stratum, the non-retrieved IVC filter placement was associated with a decreased risk for PE (HR 0.29, 95% CI 0.09-0.93, P = 0.037), but not with an increased risk for DVT (HR 1.73, 95% CI 0.89-3.38, P = 0.108), while in the active cancer stratum, it was associated with an increased risk for DVT (HR 2.47, 95% CI 1.24-4.91, P = 0.010), but not with a decreased risk for PE (HR 0.82, 95% CI 0.34--1.96, P = 0.650). CONCLUSIONS There were some differences in the risk-benefit balance between VTE patients with and without active cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The majority of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is caused by thrombus developed from leg veins. However, impact of concomitant deep venous thrombosis (DVT) on clinical outcomes has not been fully evaluated in patients with acute PE. METHODS The COMMAND VTE Registry is a multicenter registry enrolling consecutive 3027 patients with acute symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) in Japan. The current study population consisted of 655 acute PE patients who underwent lower extremities ultrasound examination at diagnosis for the assessment of concomitant DVT status. RESULTS There were 424 patients with proximal DVT (64.7%), 162 patients with distal DVT (24.7%), and 69 patients with no DVT (10.5%). The cumulative 90-day incidence of all-cause death was higher in proximal DVT patients than in distal DVT and no DVT patients (7.9%, 2.5%, and 1.4%, p = 0.01). Regarding the causes of death, the cumulative 90-day incidence of PE-related death was low, and not significantly different across the 3 groups (1.4%, 0.6%, and 1.7%, p = 0.62). The most frequent cause of death was cancer in proximal and distal DVT patients. There were no significant differences in 90-day rates of recurrent VTE and major bleeding, regardless of the status of concomitant DVT (2.9%, 3.2%, and 2.2%, p = 0.79, and 1.5%, 4.4%, and 4.9%, p = 0.46, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Acute PE with proximal DVT at diagnosis was associated with a higher risk for short-term mortality than in patients without DVT, while the risk for short-term mortality was not significantly different between distal DVT patients and patients without DVT.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
While lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)) is an independent predictor of atherosclerotic diseases involving the coronary and cerebrovascular arteries, its prognostic value in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) remains still unclear.
Objective
The aim of study is to determine the role of Lp(a) levels after endovascular therapy (EVT).
Methods
This study was prospective observational study. From September 2016 to April 2019, 676 the patients (873 limbs) who underwent EVT for de-novo PAD were enrolled. We divided into Lp(a) levels ≥40 mg/dl (high Lp(a) group; n=129) and <40 mg/dl (low Lp(a) group; n=547). Outcome measures were major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE; all-cause death, myocardial infarction and stroke), and major adverse limb events (MALE; repeat revascularization for limb and major amputation) at 1 year. Major amputation defined as above forefoot amputation due to vascular cause.
Results
The mean follow-up period was 14.3±8.9 months. Serum Lp(a) levels before EVT were 27.2 (10.0–36.0 mg/dl). High Lp (a) group was significantly older, higher prevalence of history of stroke, chronic kidney disease, and multi-vessel lesions. Cumulative incidence of MACE at 1 year was not significantly between two groups (p=0.53, log-rank test), whereas cumulative incidence of MALE at 1 year was significantly higher in high Lp (a) group (p=0.04, log-rank test). However, after adjusting for prespecified risk factors, high Lp (a) group was not independent predictor in MALE at 1 year.
Conclusion
High Lp (a) might not be associated with cardiovascular events and limb prognosis after EVT for PAD in early phase.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with cancer-associated venous thromboembolism (VTE) are at high risk for recurrent VTE and are recommended to receive prolonged anticoagulation therapy if they are at a low risk for bleeding. However, there are no established risk factors for bleeding during anticoagulation therapy.Methods and Results:The COMMAND VTE Registry is a multicenter retrospective registry enrolling 3,027 consecutive patients with acute symptomatic VTE among 29 Japanese centers. The present study population consisted of 592 cancer-associated VTE patients with anticoagulation therapy. We constructed a multivariable Cox proportional hazard model to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of the potential risk factors for major bleeding. During a median follow-up period of 199 days, major bleeding occurred in 72 patients. The cumulative incidence of major bleeding was 5.8% at 3 months, 13.8% at 1 year, 17.5% at 2 years, and 28.1% at 5 years. The most frequent major bleeding site was gastrointestinal tract (47%). Terminal cancer (adjusted HR, 4.17; 95% CI, 2.22-7.85, P<0.001), chronic kidney disease (adjusted HR, 1.89; 95% CI 1.06-3.37, P=0.031), and gastrointestinal cancer (adjusted HR, 1.78; 95% CI, 1.04-3.04, P=0.037) were independently associated with an increased risk of major bleeding. CONCLUSIONS Major bleeding events were common during anticoagulation therapy in real-world cancer-associated VTE patients. Terminal cancer, chronic kidney disease, and gastrointestinal cancer were the independent risk factors for major bleeding.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate lumen loss (LL) at 1 year after bare nitinol stent (BNS) implantation for de novo superficial femoral artery (SFA) lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS The subjects were 701 consecutive patients (mean age 74±9 years; 492 men) with 817 de novo SFA lesions treated with BNS implantation between January 2004 and September 2015. The mean lesion length was 141±88 mm and the mean vessel diameter was 5.4±0.9 mm. The endpoint was LL at 1 year after BNS implantation. Secondary outcomes were restenosis and target lesion revascularization (TLR) estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method; estimates are reported with the 95% confidence interval (CI). LL was defined as the minimum lumen diameter immediately after BNS implantation minus that at 1 year measured by angiographic quantitative vessel analysis. The distribution of LL in the overall population was estimated using an accelerated failure time model. RESULTS Mean LL at 1 year was estimated to be 1.74±1.28 mm (95% CI 1.63 to 1.84). Current smoking was positively associated with LL (p=0.015), whereas lack of cilostazol use was correlated with an increase in LL (p=0.001). Reference vessel diameter and lesion length did not have any significant association with LL at 1 year. The 1-year cumulative estimate of restenosis was 25% (95% CI 22% to 28%); the corresponding value for TLR was 18% (95% CI 15% to 21%). CONCLUSION Mean LL progressed by at least 1.6 mm up to 1 year after BNS implantation. The risk factors for increased LL were current smoker and lack of cilostazol use.

Abstract
To examine clinical outcomes for combination therapy of heparin-bonded covered stent [VIABAHN™ stent (VIA)] and bare-nitinol stent (BNS), and to determine independent predictors of restenosis after VIA implantation assessed by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). A retrospective analysis was conducted on VIA use in the femoropopliteal artery of 71 patients (81 lesions) treated between June 2012 and November 2018. We divided the treated lesions into two groups; that is, whether BNS was added at the proximal site of the VIA or not (combination of VIA and BNS group [COM; n = 21] vs. VIA group [n = 60]). The median follow-up duration was 21.6 months (interquartile range, 13.2-28.8 months). Restenosis at 2 years was observed in 5 lesions (33%) in COM group and 17 lesions (38%) in VIA group (log-rank, P = 0.74). In VIA group, 14 lesions developed restenosis within 12 months. Multivariate logistic regression analysis of VIA group revealed that the proximal plaque burden was an independent predictor of restenosis within 12 months after VIA implantation (odds ratio 1.15, 95% confidence interval 1.01-1.30, P = 0.01), with the optimal cutoff value of 43% (area under the receiver operator characteristic curve 0.79, sensitivity 91%, specificity 69%). A remaining plaque of > 43% at the proximal reference segment was an independent predictor of restenosis after VIA implantation. When residual stenosis is observed at the proximal site of SFA after VIA implantation, combination therapy of VIA and BNS would be an optimal management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The recently proposed VTE-BLEED score to predict the risk of major bleeding in patients with venous thromboembolisms (VTEs) on prolonged anticoagulation therapy was validated externally in randomized controlled trials and in a selected cohort, but not applied in non-selective cohorts. OBJECTIVES The present study aimed to evaluate the generalizability of the VTE-BLEED score in a non-selective cohort. PATIENTS/METHODS The COMMAND VTE Registry is a multicenter retrospective registry enrolling consecutive patients with acute symptomatic VTEs among 29 centers in Japan. The present study population consisted of 2124 patients with prolonged anticoagulation therapy beyond 30 days, including 2008 (95%) patients with a first VTE episode and 1075 (51%) with unprovoked VTEs, who were divided into 1445 patients (68%) with a VTE-BLEED score of ≥2 (high-risk group) and 679 (32%) with a VTE-BLEED score of <2 (low-risk group). RESULTS During a median follow-up period of 672 days, major bleeding events occurred in 121 patients. The cumulative 5-year incidence of major bleeding beyond 30 days was significantly higher in the high-risk group than low-risk group (13.2% versus 5.4%, P < .001). The hazard function curves demonstrated that the hazards of the high-risk group were consistently higher over time compared with the low-risk group, which suggested the long-term predictive ability of the score. CONCLUSIONS In the present real-world VTE registry, the VTE-BLEED score had a long-term predictive ability for high-risk patients with major bleeding during prolonged anticoagulation therapy, which could be useful in determining the optimal duration of anticoagulation therapy in individual patients.

Abstract
Statins, which are considered as essential for primary and secondary prevention of atherosclerotic diseases, were also reported to reduce first venous thromboembolism (VTE). However, the effect of statins on VTE recurrence remains conflicting. We aimed to examine the association between statin use and VTE recurrence in a large observational study in Japan. The COMMAND VTE Registry is a multicenter registry enrolling consecutive 3027 patients with acute symptomatic VTE in 29 centers in Japan between January 2010 and August 2014. In the current study, the entire cohort was divided into statin group (N = 437) and no-statin group (N = 2590) according to the status of statin use at baseline. The statin group as compared with the no-statin group was older (statin group 71.2 vs no-statin group 66.5 years, p <0.001), included more women (67% vs 60%, p = 0.008), and less frequently had active cancer (12% vs 25%, p <0.001). There was no significant difference in the clinical presentation of VTE (pulmonary embolism, 58% vs 56%, p = 0.44). The cumulative 3-year incidence of recurrent VTE was significantly lower in the statin group than the no-statin group (3.8% vs 8.8%, p <0.001). After adjusting for confounders including active cancer, statin use was associated with significantly lower risk for recurrent VTE (Hazard ratio 0.49, 95% confidence interval 0.29 to 0.78, p = 0.002). The results were consistent in a sensitivity sub-group analysis with and without active cancer. In conclusion, statin use was associated with significantly lower risk for the recurrent VTE in patients with VTE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The simplified Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (sPESI) score is a practical score for identification of patients with low-risk pulmonary embolism (PE), although it has not been applied in patients with active cancer. The current study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of the sPESI score in patients with PE and active cancer. METHODS The COMMAND VTE Registry is a multicenter registry enrolling consecutive patients with acute symptomatic VTE. The current study population consisted of 368 patients with PE and active cancer. The 30-day clinical outcomes were compared between patients with sPESI score = 1 and patients with sPESI scores ≥ 2. RESULTS Overall, 37 patients (10%) died during the 30 days after diagnosis. The cumulative 30-day incidences of mortality, and PE-related death, were lower in patients with sPESI score = 1 than in patients with sPESI scores ≥ 2 (6.3% vs 13.1%; log-rank P = .03; and 0.7% vs 3.9%; log-rank P = .046). Among patients with sPESI score = 1, the predominant cause of death was cancer. There were no significant differences in the cumulative 30-day incidence of recurrent VTE and major bleeding between the two groups (3.9% vs 5.6%; log-rank P = .46; and 6.4% vs 4.5%; log-rank P = .45). CONCLUSIONS Among patients with PE and active cancer, patients with sPESI score = 1 had a lower 30-day mortality rate compared with patients with sPESI scores ≥ 2, and they showed very low PE-related mortality risk, although the overall mortality rate remained high because of cancer-related mortality. They also showed relatively high risks for recurrence and major bleeding, suggesting the need for careful follow-up.

Abstract
Abstract
Background/Introduction
Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT), has a long-term risk for recurrence, which can be prevented by anticoagulation therapy. The duration of anticoagulation therapy after VTE should be based on the balance between risks of recurrent VTE and bleeding. However, there is uncertainty about the impact of these events on subsequent mortality.
Purpose
We sought to evaluate the impact of recurrent VTE events and bleeding events on subsequent mortality in patients with VTE in a large retrospective observational database in Japan.
Methods
We evaluated the association of recurrent VTE and major bleeding with mortality among 3026 patients in the COMMAND VTE Registry. We estimated the risks of recurrent VTE events and major bleeding events for subsequent all-cause death with the multivariable Cox proportional hazard model. We incorporated the recurrent VTE events and major bleeding events during follow-up into the multivariable Cox model as time-updated covariates together with the clinically-relevant 16 risk-adjusting factors. We expressed the adjusted risks of each covariate as hazard ratios (HR) and their 95%confidence intervals (CI). Furthermore, to assess the risks of recurrent PE and recurrent DVT events for subsequent all-cause death respectively, we divided recurrent VTE events into recurrent PE (PE with or without DVT) and recurrent DVT (DVT only), and incorporated these events as well as major bleeding events into the multivariable Cox model as time-updated covariates.
Results
In the current study population, the mean age was 67 years, 61% were women, and mean body weight and body mass index were 57.9 kg and 23.2 kg/m2, respectively. During the median follow-up period of 1,218 days, 763 patients died, 225 patients developed recurrent VTE events, and 274 patients developed major bleeding events. The time-updated multivariable Cox proportional hazard model revealed that both the recurrent VTE events and the major bleeding events were strongly associated with subsequent mortality risk (recurrent VTE events: HR 3.24, 95% CI 2.57–4.08, P<0.001; major bleeding events: HR 3.53, 95% CI 2.88–4.31, P<0.001). Both the recurrent PE events and the recurrent DVT events were associated with subsequent mortality risk with the numerically greater magnitude of effect with the recurrent PE events than with the recurrent DVT events (recurrent PE events: HR 4.42, 95% CI 3.28–5.95, P<0.001; recurrent DVT events: HR 2.42, 95% CI 1.75–3.36, P<0.001).
Conclusions
In the real-world patients with VTE, both recurrent VTE events and major bleeding events were strongly associated with subsequent mortality risk with the comparable effect size. Recurrent PE and recurrent DVT events were also associated with increased risks for mortality, although the magnitude of the effect on mortality was numerically greater with the recurrent PE events than with the recurrent DVT events.

Abstract
Abstract
Background/Introduction
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is caused by blockage of pulmonary arteries by thrombus. The sources of thrombus are thought to be mostly veins in lower extremities, whereas deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in upper extremities rarely occurs spontaneously. Recent studies reported that DVT in upper extremities might have significant complications, and DVT in upper extremities could be increasing. However, there is a paucity of data on patients with DVT in upper extremities, leading to uncertainty in optimal treatment strategies including anticoagulation therapy.
Purpose
We sought to evaluate the clinical characteristics, management strategies, and long-term outcomes of patients with DVT in upper extremities in a large observational database in Japan.

The COMMAND VTE Registry is a multicenter registry enrolling 3027 consecutive patients with acute symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) objectively confirmed by imaging examination or by autopsy among 29 centers in Japan between January 2010 and August 2014. The current study population consisted of 2498 patients with DVT in upper or lower extremities, after excluding 381 patients with PE only, 144 patients who had thrombus in locations other than upper or lower extremities, and 4 patients with DVT in both upper and lower extremities. The study patients were divided into 2 groups: patients with DVT in upper extremities and patients with DVT in lower extremities. We compared the clinical characteristics, management strategies and long-term outcomes between the 2 groups.
Results
There were 74 patients (3.0%) with upper extremities DVT and 2498 patients (97%) with lower extremities DVT. Patients with upper extremities DVT more often had active cancer at diagnosis (58%) and central venous catheter use (22%). The proportion of concomitant PE at diagnosis was lower in patients with upper extremities DVT than in those with lower extremities DVT (14% and 51%, P<0.001). Discontinuation of anticoagulation therapy was more frequent in patients with upper extremities DVT (63.8% and 29.8% at 1-year, P<0.001). The cumulative 3-year incidence of recurrent VTE was not different between the 2 groups (9.8% and 7.4%, P=0.43) (Figure). After adjusting confounders, the risks of upper extremities DVT relative to lower extremities DVT for recurrent VTE remained insignificant (HR 0.94, 95% CI 0.36–2.01, P=0.89).

Conclusions
The prevalence of patients with DVT in upper extremities was 3.0% in the current large-scale real-world registry. Patients with DVT in upper extremities more often had active cancer at diagnosis and central venous catheter use as a transient risk factor for VTE, and less often had concomitant PE. Patients with DVT in upper extremities had similar long-term risk for recurrent VTE as those with DVT in lower extremities despite shorter duration of anticoagulation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Statin prevents occurrence and recurrence of atherosclerotic events. With regard to venous thromboembolism (VTE), a randomized controlled trial suggested that statin reduced occurrence of VTE, whereas its usefulness as secondary prevention of VTE remains to be elucidated.
Purpose
This study aimed to assess the association between statin prescription, recurrent VTE and bleeding events in patients with VTE.
Methods
The COMMAND VTE Registry is a multicentre registry enrolling consecutive 3027 patients with acute symptomatic VTE among 29 centres in Japan. We divided the cohort into the patients who were prescribed statin (N=437) and those not (N=2590), and compared the two groups. We assessed hazard ratios (HRs) of those with statin relative to those without for long-term clinical outcomes (recurrent symptomatic VTE and International Society of Thrombosis and Hemostasis [ISTH] major bleeding). Because the durations of anticoagulation therapy were widely different between the two groups, we constructed Cox's proportional hazard model incorporating status of anticoagulation during the follow-up period as a time-varying covariate. Also, because the incidences of death were strikingly different between the two groups due to the difference in the prevalence of active cancer, we used Fine-Gray's subdistribution hazard model in the presence of competing risks. We incorporated clinically relevant factors into these two models as covariates (10 factors for recurrent VTE and 11 for major bleeding).
Results
The statin group was significantly older than the non-statin group (statin 71.2±11.8 vs. non-statin 66.5±15.8, P<0.001). The prevalence of active cancer in the statin group was less than one-half of that in the non-statin group (12% vs. 25%, P<0.001), and the cumulative 3-year incidence of death was significantly lower in the statin group than in the non-statin group (12.8% vs. 26.1%, log-rank P<0.001). The table shows the adjusted HRs of the statin group relative to the non-statin group. The HRs of the statin group relative to non-statin group for recurrent VTE were significantly low, but those for major bleeding were insignificant.
Adjusted hazard ratios Outcome measures Model 1 P value Model 2 P value Adjusted HR [95% CI] Adjusted HR [95% CI] Recurrent VTE 0.59 [0.36–0.98] 0.042 0.53 [0.32–0.89] 0.02 Major bleeding 0.87 [0.60–1.24] 0.43 0.997 [0.69–1.43] 0.99 Model 1 derived from Cox's model with time-varying covariate of anticoagulation status. Model 2 derived from Fine-Gray's model.

Conclusions
Prescription of satin was associated with significantly low risks for recurrent VTE, whereas that was not for major bleeding events. Statin could be a potential treatment option for secondary prevention of VTE.

Abstract
Abstract
Background/Introduction
There is still uncertainty about the optimal usage of thrombolysis for acute pulmonary embolisms (PEs), leading to widely varying usage of thrombolysis in the real world. However, these have not been fully evaluated yet.
Purpose
We sought to evaluate the management strategies and clinical outcomes of thrombolysis for acute PEs in the real world.
Methods
The COMMAND VTE Registry is a multicenter registry enrolling 3,027 consecutive patients with acute symptomatic venous thromboembolisms in Japan between January 2010 and August 2014. The present study population consisted of 1,549 patients with PEs who received tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) thrombolysis (N=180, 12%), or those who did not (N=1,369). The effectiveness outcome was all-cause death. The safety outcome was major bleeding. We used a multivariable logistic regression analysis to estimate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI), to adjust clinically relevant confounders (age, sex, history of major bleeding, active cancer, and anemia). Additionally, we conducted stratified analysis by clinical severity, and we also evaluated clinical outcomes according to dosages of t-PA.
Results
Patients with t-PA thrombolysis were younger, and more frequently had higher body weight, but less frequently had active cancer, history of major bleeding, and anemia. More than half of patients with t-PA thrombolysis were patients with mild PEs, and the proportions of t-PA thrombolysis varied widely across the participating centers. More than half of patients received low-dose of t-PA (<20,000 IU/kg). As for the effectiveness, 9 (5.0%) patients in the t-PA thrombolysis group and 95 (6.9%) patients in the non t-PA thrombolysis group died at 30 days (Crude OR, 0.71; 95% CI 0.35–1.42, P=0.33). As for the safety, 7 (3.9%) patients in the t-PA thrombolysis group and 22 (1.6%) patients in the non t-PA thrombolysis group experienced major bleeding events at 10 days (Crude OR, 2.48; 95% CI 1.04–5.88, P=0.04). T-PA thrombolysis group had a significantly higher risk for 10-day major bleeding (Adjusted OR, 4.01; 95% CI 1.57–10.2, P=0.004), but not a lower risk for 30-day mortality (Adjusted OR, 1.10; 95% CI 0.53–2.28, P=0.79), although the risk for 30-day mortality was significantly lower in those with severe PEs (Adjusted OR, 0.36; 95% CI 0.15–0.88, P=0.02). After adjusting confounders, the 10-day major bleeding risk of the low-dose of t-PA group relative to the standard-dose of t-PA group tended to be lower (Adjusted OR, 0.07; 95% CI 0.004–1.05, P=0.05).
Conclusions
In the present real-world registry, relatively large number of patients received t-PA thrombolysis with wide variation across the participating centers. T-PA thrombolysis was significantly associated with a higher risk for major bleeding, but not a lower risk for mortality, although there appeared to be a benefit of t-PA thrombolysis in decreasing the risk for mortality in patients with severe PEs.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT), has significant morbidity and mortality. Acute PE, in particular, is fatal if we miss it, and symptomatic patients of PE sometimes have concomitant DVT.
Purpose
This study compared the risk of mortality in symptomatic patients of PE with and those without DVT in the long term.
Methods
The COMMAND VTE Registry is a multicenter registry enrolling consecutive 3027 patients with acute symptomatic VTE objectively confirmed by imaging examination or by autopsy among 29 centers in Japan between January 2010 and August 2014. Patients with both PE and DVT (N=1334) were regarded as PE patients, and the current study population consisted of 1715 PE patients and 1312 DVT patients.
Results
There were 1203 symptomatic patients of PE, including 381 without and 822 with DVT. In our cohort, the mean age was 67.9±14.9 years, 63% was female, 44% had hypertension, 12% diabetes mellitus, 5% history of VTE. There were 20% of active cancer. Baseline characteristics were well matched except for dyslipidemia (18% vs. 23%, p=0.021) and atrial fibrillation (8% vs. 5%, p=0.045). Patients without DVT had a more severe clinical presentation compared to those with DVT, including hypoxemia, shock and arrest. Moreover, Initial parenteral anticoagulation therapy in the acute phase was administered less frequently in patients without DVT (89% vs. 96%, P=0.0001). Two groups received thrombolysis (20% vs. 26%, P=0.18) and mechanical supports (Ventilator 14% vs. 5%, p<0.001, PCPS 5% vs. 3%, p<0.001, respectively). During follow-up, 93 (8%) patients experienced recurrent VTE events and 98 (8%) major bleeding events, and 323 (27%) patients died. The most frequent cause of death was cancer (11%). There were a significant differences in the cumulative incidences of all-cause death between the groups (32% vs. 24%, P=0.006), whereas there was significant difference in VTE-related death (13% vs. 4%, p<0.001). Estimated freedom rates from death for patients of PE without and those with DVT were as follows: 88% vs 99% at 10-day, 86% vs 95% at 1-month, 75% vs 83% at 1-year, and 64% vs 71% at 5-year, respectively.
Landmark analysis
Conclusions
In symptomatic patients of PE, there was a difference in mortality between groups, but no difference in recurrent VTE. Patients without DVT had a more severe clinical presentation compared to those with DVT, and many VTE-related deaths in the acute phase. The one-month mortality rate differed statistically between groups, but there was no significant difference in long-term survival beyond one month. Most of deaths were due to underlying diseases, mainly cancer, and less commonly due to VTE in the long term.

Abstract
Abstract
Background/Introduction
Oral anticoagulants are widely used for the treatment and second prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF). VTE and AF are common diseases and these sometimes might coexist. However, there are few reports about the relationship between VTE and AF.
Purpose
We sought to evaluate the clinical characteristics and outcomes in VTE patients with AF.
Methods
The COMMAND VTE Registry is a multicenter registry enrolling consecutive 3027 patients with acute symptomatic VTE objectively confirmed by imaging examination or by autopsy among 29 centers in Japan between January 2010 and August 2014. The current study population consisted of 129 patients with AF (AF group) and 2898 patients without AF (non-AF group). We compared the clinical characteristics, management strategies and long-term outcomes between the 2 groups.
Results
The AF group was older (mean age: 75.3 vs. 66.8 years, P<0.001), and more often had co-morbidities such as hypertension (54.3% vs. 37.7%, P<0.001), diabetes mellitus (20.2% vs. 12.4%, P=0.01), chronic kidney disease (28.7% vs. 18.5%, P=0.004), heart failure (28.7% vs. 18.5%, P=0.004), history of stroke (20.2% vs. 8.4%, P<0.001), and history of major bleeding (12.4% vs. 7.4%, P=0.04) compared with the non-AF group, whereas there were no significant differences in the proportions of active cancer at diagnosis (18.6% vs. 23.2%, P=0.23) and pulmonary embolism at presentation (64.3% vs. 56.3%, P=0.07). The proportion of anticoagulation therapy beyond acute phase was not significantly different (94% vs. 93%, P=0.60), while the cumulative discontinuation rates of anticoagulation therapy was significantly lower in the AF group (26.9% vs. 43.4% at 3 years, Log-rank P=0.03). The cumulative 5-year incidences of recurrent VTE and major bleeding were not significantly different (Recurrent VTE: 7.6% vs. 10.6%, Log-rank P=0.89; Major bleeding: 18.6% vs. 11.8%, Log-rank P=0.07). After adjusting for potential confounders, the risks of the AF group relative to the non-AF group for recurrent VTE and major bleeding remained insignificant (HR 1.19, 95% CI 0.54–2.28, P=0.64; HR 1.28, 95% CI 0.73–2.06, P=0.37). The cumulative 5-year incidence of all-cause death was significantly higher in the AF-group (49.1% vs. 28.6%, Log-rank P<0.001). After adjusting for potential confounders, the risks of the AF group relative to the non-AF group for all-cause death remained significant (HR 1.63, 95% CI 1.23–2.15, P<0.001). The proportion of deaths due to cancer was lower in the AF group (30% vs. 55%, P<0.001), while the proportion of cardiac deaths was higher in the AF group (16.1% vs. 4.0%, P<0.001).
The outcomes of VTE patients with AF
Conclusions
The risks for recurrent VTE between patients with AF and those without AF were not significantly different, although patients with AF received longer-term anticoagulation therapy, whereas the risks for major bleeding tended to be higher in patients with AF.

Abstract
The influence of anemia on the long-term clinical outcomes has not been fully evaluated in patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE). We evaluated the influence of anemia among 3012 patients in the COMMAND VTE Registry with a median follow-up period of 1219 days. The outcomes measures were ISTH major bleeding, recurrent VTE and all-cause death. There were 1012 patients (34%) with moderate/severe anemia (Hb ≤ 10.9 g/dl), 615 patients (20%) with mild anemia (Hb 11.0-12.9 g/dl for men, and 11.0-11.9 g/dl for women), and 1385 patients (46%) without anemia. The cumulative 5-year incidence of major bleeding was significantly higher in patients with anemia (moderate/severe anemia: 17.6%, mild anemia: 12.1%, and no anemia: 8.7%, P < 0.001). After adjusting the confounders, the excess risk of mild and moderate/severe anemia, respectively, relative to no anemia for major bleeding remained significant (mild: adjusted HR 1.41: [95% CI 1.00-1.98], P = 0.048; moderate/severe: adjusted HR 1.91: [95% CI 1.42-2.58], P < 0.001, respectively). The excess risk of moderate/severe anemia relative to no anemia was also significant for mortality (adjusted HR 2.89: 95% CI 2.45-3.42, P < 0.001), but the risk was neutral for recurrent VTE (adjusted HR 1.05: 95% CI 0.76-1.45, P = 0.77). In conclusions, VTE patients with mild and moderate/severe anemia had higher risk for major bleeding events without significant excess risk for recurrent VTE events, and the risk for major bleeding events increased according to the severity of anemia. We should pay more attention to the optimal intensity and duration of anticoagulation in VTE patients with anemia.

Abstract
There is still uncertainty about the optimal usage of thrombolysis for acute pulmonary embolisms (PEs), leading to a widely varying usage in the real world. The COMMAND VTE Registry is a multicenter retrospective registry enrolling consecutive patients with acute symptomatic venous thromboembolisms (VTEs) in Japan. The present study population consisted of 1549 patients with PEs treated with tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) thrombolysis (N = 180, 12%) or without thrombolysis (N = 1369). Thrombolysis with t-PA was implemented in 33% of patients with severe PEs, and 9.2% of patients with mild PEs with a wide variation across the participating centers. Patients with t-PA thrombolysis were younger, and less frequently had active cancer, history of major bleeding, and anemia. At 30 days, t-PA thrombolysis as compared to no thrombolysis was associated with similar mortality rates (5.0% vs. 6.9%, P = 0.33), but a lower adjusted mortality risk (OR 0.41; 95% CI 0.18-0.90, P = 0.03), while it was associated with a trend for higher rates of major bleeding (5.6% vs. 2.9%, P = 0.06) and a significantly higher adjusted risk for major bleeding (OR 2.39; 95% CI 1.06-5.36, P = 0.03). In patients with severe PEs, the mortality rates at 30 days were significantly lower in the t-PA thrombolysis group than no thrombolysis group (15% vs. 37%, P = 0.006). In the present real-world VTE registry in Japan, t-PA thrombolysis was not infrequently implemented, not only in patients with severe PEs, but also in patients with mild PEs. A substantial mortality risk reduction might be suggested with t-PA thrombolysis in patients with severe PEs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are limited data assessing the risk for bleeding on anticoagulation therapy beyond the acute phase in patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE). The present study aimed to identify risk factors for major bleeding during prolonged anticoagulation therapy in VTE patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS The COMMAND VTE Registry is a multicenter registry enrolling 3,027 consecutive patients with acute symptomatic VTE. The current study population consisted of 2,728 patients who received anticoagulation therapy beyond the acute phase, after excluding those patients with major bleeding events (n = 48), death (n = 66), or loss to follow-up (n = 32) during the initial parenteral anticoagulation period within 10 days after diagnosis, and those without anticoagulation therapy beyond 10 days after diagnosis (n = 153). RESULTS During the median follow-up period of 555 days, major bleeding occurred in 189 patients (70 patients within 3 months; 119 patients beyond 3 months) with fatal bleeding in 24 patients (13%). The cumulative incidence of major bleeding was 2.7% at 3 months, 5.2% at 1 year, and 11.8% at 5 years. Active cancer (hazard ratio [HR], 3.06, 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.23-4.18), previous major bleeding (HR, 2.38, 95% CI, 1.51-3.59), anemia (HR, 1.75, 95% CI, 1.27-2.43), thrombocytopenia (HR, 2.11, 95% CI, 1.27-3.33), and age ≥75 years (HR, 1.64, 95% CI, 1.22-2.20) were independently associated with an increased risk for major bleeding by the multivariable Cox regression model. CONCLUSION Major bleeding events were not uncommon during prolonged anticoagulation therapy in real-world VTE patients. Active cancer, previous major bleeding, anemia, thrombocytopenia, and old age were the independent risk factors for major bleeding.
