PURPOSE: To assess the effect of surveillance on deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) rates, the efficacy of chemoprophylaxis and mechanical prophylaxis, and the relationship between DVT and PE. METHODS: A 23 year, systematic…

Background: Surgery is a known risk factor for hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism (HA-VTE) in children.

Objectives: To assess whether the odds of HA-VTE differs across six anatomic sites of noncardiac surgery and to identify risk factors for…

In this report, we describe a case of deep vein thrombosis with suspected congenital inferior vena cava atresia treated with thrombolysis, angioplasty, and bilateral "kissing" iliac stent placement. An 18-year-old male presented with left common…
