AI Article Synopsis
- Venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis is essential after total joint arthroplasty, but there's ongoing debate about the best approach.
- Recent guidelines from key organizations like the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and the American College of Chest Physicians were issued in 2011 and 2012, with an update from the Surgical Care Improvement Project in 2014.
- This review aims to explore the various VTE prophylaxis options currently used and the most up-to-date clinical guidelines.
Article Abstract
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 and 2012, respectively. In addition, the Surgical Care Improvement Project published their latest recommendations in 2014. In this review, commonly used VTE prophylaxis options and the latest clinical guidelines will be discussed.

Objective This study aims to utilize the TriNetX database, a comprehensive global network, to improve our understanding of the frequency, demographic factors, and related comorbidities of surgical patients who develop venous thromboembolism (VTEs) events. Methods The global collaborative network in TriNetX was queried for all cases from January 1, 2017, through December 31, 2023. International Classification for Disease (ICD) diagnosis codes were used to define patient cohorts with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the upper or lower extremity or pulmonary embolism (PE).

Background/aim: Low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) is widely employed to prevent postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE). This study aimed at analyzing LMWH use and evaluating its efficacy and safety in immediate implant-based post-mastectomy breast reconstruction.
Patients And Methods: A monocentric retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent immediate implant-based breast reconstruction (IBR) from January 2021 to December 2023.

Objective: Postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a potentially life-threatening complication. This study aimed to develop a predictive model to identify independent risk factors and estimate the likelihood of VTE in patients undergoing surgery for cervical cancer.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study involving 1,174 patients who underwent surgery for cervical carcinoma between 2019 and 2022.

Background: The optimal length of thromboprophylaxis after total hip or knee arthroplasty (THA and TKA) is unknown. Fast-track protocols have improved patient care and led to shorter immobilization and length of stay (LOS) after THA and TKA, thereby diminishing venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk. Here, we investigated risk stratification-based thromboprophylaxis after fast-track THA and TKA.
