Postoperative Deep Vein Thrombosis: Current Clinical Considerations

Abstract
The approach to thrombosis prophylaxis must be individualized according to the patient's risk factors, pathophysiology, planned surgical procedure, and specific medical problems. Based on an assessment of all these variables, the previously recommended modalities can be used alone or in combination, according to the particular needs of the patient. No one method will be completely effective in all patients or all situations. Only through deliberate evaluation and implementation of the appropriate available modalities will the greatest level of thrombosis prophylaxis be achieved.
