Abstract

Deep vein thrombosis is the most common preventable cause of death in surgical patients.Early recognition of deep vein thrombosis and prompt treatment is critical in preventing progression of the disease and possible pulmonary embolism.Prevention of deep vein thrombosis in surgical patients is also critical, and the indications and contraindications should be well understood.The most common treatment for deep vein thrombosis is anticoagulation; however the indications for thrombectomy should be understood and recognized from a general surgery perspective.
