Endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (endovascular aneurysm repair [EVAR]) has been shown to be effective, with lower perioperative mortality and morbidity than open surgical treatment in patients with compatible anatomy. This benefit is lost after 3 years of follow-up. This could be explained by the higher rate of reintervention in EVAR patients due to endoleaks.

Background: Any surgical procedure carries a risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE), albeit variable. Improvements in medical and surgical practices and the shortening of care pathways due to the development of day surgery and enhanced recovery after surgery, have reduced the perioperative risk for VTE.

Objective: A collaborative working group of experts in perioperative haemostasis updated in 2024 the recommendations for the Prevention of perioperative venous thromboembolism published in 2011.

An accurate diagnosis of lower limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT) recurrence is mandatory. The diagnosis is difficult and has not been well investigated. Our objective was to define the role of clinical probability assessment, D-dimer assay, venous ultrasound and other imaging methods in the diagnosis of this condition based on a review of published data.

Superficial vein thrombosis (SVT), a manifestation of venous thromboembolism (VTE), is a common condition, yet of all the types of VTE, it has been the least well studied. Recent studies have challenged the conception that SVT is a benign disease, showing that its risk factors overlap with those of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) and that it is frequently associated with DVT or pulmonary embolism (PE). In 2010, the CALISTO trial demonstrated the benefit of treatment with fondaparinux at the dose of 2.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common, serious condition that requires anticoagulation for at least three months to prevent recurrence and long-term complications. After this initial period, the decision to continue or stop anticoagulation depends on the balance between the risk of recurrent VTE and the risk of bleeding. Established guidelines suggest short-term anticoagulation for VTE caused by transient factors and indefinite anticoagulation for recurrent or cancer-associated VTE.
