Description
Summary:Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common perioperative complication in patients with thoracic malignant tumor. Once it occurs, it will not only affect the prognosis of patients, but also occupy a lot of medical resources, which is gradually causing our widespread attention. However, the understanding of VTE in thoracic surgery in our country is relatively late, and the recognition and attention are not enough, and there is still a lack of guidance support for perioperative VTE. Based on the current understanding and preventive measures of VTE in thoracic surgery in China, The China National Research Collaborative Group released the first edition of Chinese experts consensus on the perioperative VTE prophylaxis in 2018. This article will interpret the high-risk patients with perioperative VTE in patients with thoracic malignant tumors, in order to provide a better understanding of Chinese experts consensus for readers.
