Intermittent pneumatic compression for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in total knee arthroplasty.
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of bilateral intra- and postoperative intermittent pneumatic compression without major anticoagulation as prophylaxis for VTE in TKA.This retrospective study involved 157 consecutive patients undergoing TKA performed by 1 surgeon who were treated wit...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the effectiveness of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) devices combined with anticoagulants for the prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). PATIENTS AND METHODS In total 120 patients were involved in this pilot study. Patients in the control group received 10 mg of rivaroxaban per day after surgery. In addition to the pres...
متن کاملPrevention of venous thromboembolism after total hip and knee arthroplasty.
Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) remains a clinical threat to orthopaedic surgeons, despite of a large number of clinical trials and research performed on this subject. Various guidelines and recommendations are available in clinical practice but the search continues for an ideal agent or combination of agents for VTE prophylaxis. Rudolf Virchow first described Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and the su...
متن کاملMeta-analysis of thromboembolic prophylaxis after total knee arthroplasty.
We performed a meta-analysis of the English literature to assess the efficacy of four common regimes for thromboembolic prophylaxis after total knee arthroplasty: aspirin, warfarin, low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) and pneumatic compression. We reviewed 136 articles and abstracts published between January 1980 and December 1997. Papers not using routine venography and a lung scan or angiogra...
متن کاملPrevention of deep-vein thrombosis after total hip and knee replacement. Low-molecular-weight heparin in combination with intermittent pneumatic compression.
After total hip (THR) or knee replacement (TKR), there is still an appreciable risk of developing deep-vein thrombosis despite prophylaxis with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH). In a prospective, randomised study we examined the efficacy of LMWH in combination with intermittent pneumatic compression in patients undergoing primary unilateral THR or TKR. We administered 40 mg of enoxaparin dai...
