ABSTRACT
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a main cause of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE), and therefore both diseases are categorized as a serial pathophysiology of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Treatment goals for DVT include stopping clot propagation and preventing the recurrence of thrombus, the occurrence of PTE, and the development of pulmonary hypertension, which can be a complication of multiple recurrent pulmonary emboli. Clinical guidelines stratify the risk of VTE to 4 levels and recommend the treatment options. In high or extremely high risk patients for VTE, the use of low-dose heparin is recommended. The prevention against VTE, such as elastic compression stockings and intermittent sequential pneumatic leg compression( ISPC), is the most important prophylactic treatment against perioperative PTE by reducing thrombotic risk in low or moderate high risk patients for VET. Since there is no clear evidence that screening all or even selected patients for thrombophilias improves long-term outcomes, the physician's clinical judgment, and consultation with appropriate subspecialists should guide management perioperatively. Once PTE is suspected, immediate and accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment are mandatory.
