| Popis: | Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a complex disease, involving clinical and genetic risk factors and environmental interactions. Advanced age and surgery are well-known VTE risk factors. In fact, this risk increases in all patients undergoing surgery, in particular in elderly patients. Preventing VTE is a relevant task in decreasing the morbidity and mortality associated with this complication. Much evidence exists showing the efficacy of prophylactic strategies to prevent VTE in surgical patients. Indications for VTE prophylaxis vary according to the individual risk of VTE and the surgical procedure (i.e., minor or major surgery). |
