Reduction of Thromboembolic Events in Meningioma Surgery: A Cohort Study of 724 Consecutive Patients
BACKGROUND Meningiomas are associated with the highest postoperative rate of venous thromboembolic events (VTE) among all intracranial tumors. The aim of this study is to compare two entirely different VTE prophylaxis regimens in 724 consecutive patients undergoing meningioma surgery. METHODS Two cohorts at a single institution treated with different regimens to prevent VTE were reviewed retr...
