Evaluation of venous thromboembolic complications in patients operated on for pelvic fracture.

Introduction: Fractures of the pelvis (acetabulum and pelvic ring) are complex in both radiological diagnosis and therapeutic management. They show high-risk of thrombosis, with variable rates of venous thromboembolic complications in the literature, ranging from 10% to 50%, with 0.5-10% risk of fatal pulmonary embolism.

Femoral vein thrombosis after right-sided electrophysiological procedures.

Purpose: Electrophysiological studies and radiofrequency catheter ablations require single or multiple sheath placements through femoral vein cannulation. The objective of this study was to determine the incidence, predictors, and outcomes of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) following such procedures.

Methods And Results: We prospectively enrolled 220 consecutive patients with a median age of 70 [60-79] years.
