Deep Venous Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism in Cardiac Surgical Patients.

Prophylaxis may be indicated in cardiac surgery patients to improve quality of care and reduce healthcare costs. Future controlled randomized trials investigating the benefit of thromboembolism prophylaxis in cardiac surgery are warranted. PMID: 31706868 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
