Venous thromboembolism in lung transplant recipients real world experience from a high volume center.

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) post lung transplantation is common and has been associated with worse post transplant survival. We report a comprehensive single center review of VTE incidence in the first post transplant year, investigate modifiable risk factors and assess impact on short term outcomes.

Methods: Retrospective review of all lung transplant recipients between August 2016 to 2018 at Temple University Hospital.
