Abstract

This is a retrospective study of all patients in the Hurley Bariatric Center database who underwent surgery between April 2000 and June 2006. This study compared the incidence of DVT, PE and all-cause peri-operative mortality in patients who received prophylactic IVC filters and those who did not. Patients received prophylactic filters for risk factors identified in their pre-operative evaluation.
