BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to stratify plastic surgery patients into venous thromboembolism risk categories; identify patients at highest risk for venous thromboembolism; and quantify rates of postoperative all-cause mortality, venous thromboembolism, and hematoma/bleeding on different forms of thromboprophylaxis. Furthermore, this study aimed to determine the compliance and avera...

CONTEXT In patients with suspected lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT), compression ultrasound (CUS) is typically the initial test to confirm or exclude DVT. Patients with an initial negative CUS result often require repeat CUS after 5 to 7 days. Whole-leg CUS may exclude proximal and distal DVT in a single evaluation. OBJECTIVE To determine the risk of venous thromboembolism after wit...

in pregnancy include weight over 80 kg, family or personal history of thrombosis, and thrombophilia. Venous thromboembolism during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of future venous thromboembolism. Almost two-thirds of women with venous thromboembolism during pregnancy develop deep-vein insufficiency in the affected leg, a rate substantially higher than would be expected after DVT...

Background:Suspicion that the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused venous thromboembolism (VTE).

BACKGROUND Venous thromboembolism is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Although activated protein C resistance (APC-R) is the most commonly recognized inherited risk factor for venous thromboembolism, little is known about its long-term implications on health. METHODS MEDLINE was searched from January 1989 through August 1999 using the key words "thromboembolism," "thrombosis," "activ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between use of hormone replacement therapy and the risk of idiopathic venous thromboembolism. DESIGN Population based case-control study. SETTING Population enrolled in the General Practice Research Database, United Kingdom. SUBJECTS A cohort of 347,253 women aged 50 to 79 without major risk factors for venous thromboembolism was identified. Cases wer...

Patients with acute pulmonary embolism and venous thromboembolism are usually treated with anticoagulant therapy for at least 3 months as the optimum duration. A patient with recurrent idiopathic venous thromboembolism at the eighth month during anticoagulation (warfarin to target international normalized ratio of 2.0-3.0) is described. The case suggests that patients with idiopathic venous thr...

Washington, D.C. Learning Objectives: After studying this article, the participant should be able to: 1. Understand and appreciate the incidence of venous thromboembolism in plastic surgery. 2. Understand and describe the cause and natural history of venous thromboembolism in the setting of plastic surgery. 3. Understand the important patient risk factors for venous thromboembolism and perform ...

Objective To examine the potential for preventing venous thromboembolism during and after antepartum hospital admissions in pregnant women. Design Cohort study using linked primary (Clinical Practice Research Datalink) and secondary (Hospital Episode Statistics) care records. Setting Primary and secondary care centres, England. Participants 206 785 women aged 15-44 who had one or more pregnanci...
