Prevention of venous thromboembolism after total hip and knee arthroplasty.
Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) remains a clinical threat to orthopaedic surgeons, despite of a large number of clinical trials and research performed on this subject. Various guidelines and recommendations are available in clinical practice but the search continues for an ideal agent or combination of agents for VTE prophylaxis. Rudolf Virchow first described Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and the su...
متن کاملVenous thromboembolism prophylaxis after total joint arthroplasty.
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis after total joint arthroplasty is considered best practice. However, over the past 5 years, there has been considerable debate about the ideal prophylactic regimen or modality. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and the American College of Chest Physicians published their most recent clinical practice guidelines about VTE prophylaxis in 2011 an...
متن کاملSymptomatic venous thromboembolism after total knee replacement.
Chemical prophylaxis is known to reduce the venographic prevalence of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) after total knee replacement (TKR), but it is uncertain whether this affects the incidence of symptoms. Further analysis depends on the basic epidemiology of thromboembolic symptoms. We therefore studied the pattern of such symptoms in a consecutive series of 1000 patients with primary TKR, with par...
متن کاملOptimal duration of prophylaxis for venous thromboembolism following total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty.
Elective total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty are associated with a high risk of postoperative venous thromboembolism. Traditionally, antithrombotic prophylaxis has been administered during the hospital stay. However, with patients spending less time in the hospital after surgery, there is a need to continue thromboprophylaxis beyond hospital discharge. The current recommendation ...
متن کاملUltrasonography and diagnosis of venous thromboembolism.
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) consists of two related conditions: pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Objective testing for VTE is crucial because the clinical diagnosis is nonspecific and insensitive, and the consequences of a missed diagnosis are serious. The purpose of this review is to discuss the utility of venous ultrasonography as the foundation for diagnosis of acute ...
