Abstract
POSTOPERATIVE venous thromboembolism (ie, deep venous thrombosis [DVT] and pulmonary embolism [PE]) represents an important concern after major abdominal operations such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (GBP). The reported incidence of PE for patients undergoing open GBP with prophylaxis has ranged from 0.36% to 3.0%.1-5Keywords
