Join us to make possible the 9th Arianna Anticoagulation Foundation Conference to be held in Bologna on 2-3 April 2025.

The aim of the Convention, realised in collaboration with A.I.P.A. - Bologna APS (Associazione Italiana Pazienti Anticoagulati - Italian Association of Anticoagulated Patients), is to promote the correct use of anticoagulant and antithrombotic treatments, which are currently affecting more and more people, in order to prevent or treat thrombotic events (such as strokes, deep vein thromboses, pulmonary embolisms).

The conference aims to encourage discussion between experts from different fields and experts in coagulation and haemostasis in order to optimise treatment, especially where areas of uncertainty exist. However, the effectiveness of treatment requires not only the dissemination of specific knowledge and the commitment of health professionals, but also an adequate organisation of the health system's services and a constant and constructive relationship with patients and their families.

To discuss these issues we have invited and will also be attended by representatives of institutions and patient associations.

But we need your support! By making a donation, you will contribute to the realisation of an event that will give many professionals the opportunity to discuss and update themselves on topics of great importance for health and patient associations the opportunity to discuss major difficulties.

Every contribution counts! Donate now!

WHO ARE WE?

Fondazione Arianna Anticoagulazione ETS is a non-profit organisation set up by A.I.P.A. Bologna - APS (Associazione Italiana Pazienti Anticoagulati di Bologna) and Prof. Gualtiero Palareti (former Director of the UO Angiologia e Malattie della Coagulazione at the Policlinico Sant'Orsola Malpighi in Bologna) with the aim of improving knowledge on anticoagulant and antithrombotic treatments and promoting their correct use.

The Foundation is actively involved in research into the treatment and prevention of thrombosis and in the dissemination of research results. It promotes and supports clinical research by conducting collaborative clinical studies particularly in the field of thrombosis and its complications, as well as antithrombotic and anticoagulant treatments.

Furthermore, through the portal anticoagulazione.it, it informs and orients professionals, patients, their families and the general public in the complex landscape of thrombotic disease treatment and patient services, raising awareness of prevention.

THE ARIANNA FOUNDATION ANTICOAGULATION CONFERENCE

The 9th Conference of the Arianna Anticoagulation Foundation will be held on 2 and 3 April 2025 at the Zanhotel Europa in Via Boldrini 11, Bologna. The aim of the conference is to highlight the grey areas on the appropriate use of anticoagulant and antithrombotic treatments in terms of efficacy and safety, favouring a comparison between experts from different fields and experts in coagulation and haemostasis. The Conference also aims to highlight the main organisational and care problems of the National Health Service regarding the management of anticoagulated patients, and to identify possible solutions.

Among the various sessions of the conference, of particular interest will be

-the session "National Health Service (NHS) and independent clinical research". Speakers will include Nino Cartabellotta (President of the GIMBE Foundation) and Nicola Magrini (Scientific Coordinator of the Regional Drug Commission of Emilia Romagna, Director UO Research and Innovation, Policlinico Sant'Orsola Malpighi)

-the round table on 'Anticoagulated patients in our country. Health and social problems'.

-the round table on "What should be the LEPs (essential levels of performance) and LEAs (essential levels of care) for anticoagulated patients"

-the round table discussion between neurologists and interventional neuroradiologists with experts in antithrombotic therapies

-the round table involving cardiologists and experts on direct oral anticoagulant drugs (DOACs), with presentation and discussion of the results of the most recent clinical trials

-the round table on liver cirrhosis and anticoagulation, which will be attended by gastroenterologists, internists and coagulation experts with specific experience in this field.

Other topics of great interest and topicality will be covered, including:

-the clinical burden of different complications in patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) who continue or discontinue anticoagulation

-treatment of haemorrhagic complications during anticoagulation therapy

-update on theuse of low molecular weight heparin in cases of polyabortion and medically assisted procreation procedures

-how to encourage the participation of patients in clinical trials on anticoagulation issues and their involvement in the evaluation and dissemination of the results of such trials.

The conference will beheld in a hybrid format, with the possibility of attending the conference proceedings both in person and virtually. In addition, the conference is accredited with CME for in-person participants.

HOW WILL WE USE YOUR CONTRIBUTION?

The resources of the Arianna Anticoagulation Foundation are unfortunately reaching their limits, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to find funding for a type of scientific research such as ours, which is non-profit making. Without funding our research will come to a halt, but thanks to your help we will be able to organise this year's conference again, which is a very important moment for sharing the results of our studies, keeping up to date scientifically, and discussing the needs of patients.

By helping us reach the goal of € 14,300, you will make the conference possible. We will use this contribution to cover the following expenses

-€ 2600 for the cost of the conference hall for 2 days, to ensure a comfortable and well-equipped space

-€ 6000 for accommodation for 2 days for the 50 speakers and moderators of the event

-€ 3000 to cover the cost of live streaming for people attending the conference via the web

-€ 1900 for video editing of the conference sessions, which will then be uploaded onto our website so that as many people as possible can enjoy them

-€ 800 for printing costs, paper materials and stationery

The conference will also be realised with other funds, but your contribution through crowdfunding represents an important part of our budget and is essential to make the event accessible and of high quality.

WHY YOUR SUPPORT IS CRUCIAL

Supporting the annual conference of the Arianna Anticoagulation Foundation means:

-offering researchers the opportunity to discuss topics of real interest to patients and impact on daily clinical practice

-offering patient associations the opportunity to discuss the issues with professionals and public health professionals

-fostering dialogue between professionals from different specialities, patients and institutions

THE POWER OF YOUR CONTRIBUTION

Every donation, large or small, will contribute to the Arianna Anticoagulation FoundationConference and in so doing will contribute to scientific research and to improving knowledge on anticoagulant and antithrombotic treatments.

Contributing to research means participating in the development of new knowledge and therapeutic approaches that can have a significant impact on public health.

Thanks to your support, we can:

-improve the ability of professionals to manage patients requiring anticoagulant therapies

-direct our research to the real needs of patients

This is not just a conference. It is a unique opportunity for dialogue between doctors of different specialities who, nevertheless, care for the same patients, and for confrontation on the real needs of independent clinical research.

Because the resources of our healthcare system are limited, but could be enough for everyone if used to the best advantage! And this conference aims to help doctors, patients and caregivers understand how to do this and how to move forward.
