Abstract

Background: Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) is uncommon after general thoracic surgery, but is associated with a persistently-elevated mortality risk. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) introduced recommendations for thoracic surgery in their 2018 guidance on VTE prophylaxis (NG89). These extrapolated from a single systematic review, with no thoracic-specific literature.
