Learning Objectives: After studying this article, the participant should be able to: 1. Understand and appreciate the incidence of venous thromboembolism in plastic surgery. 2. Understand and describe the cause and natural history of venous thromboembolism in the setting of plastic surgery. 3. Understand the important patient risk factors for venous thromboembolism and perform an individualized assignment of venous thromboembolism risk. 4. Select a method of venous thromboembolism prophylaxis…

Validation of the Caprini risk assessment model in plastic and reconstructive surgery patients.
Hereditary coagulopathies: practical diagnosis and management for the plastic surgeon.
TLDR
Preoperative vigilance on the part of the plastic surgeon may help to identify patients with undiagnosed hereditary thrombophilias and thereby decrease the incidence of venous thromboembolism.
Changing Practice: Implementation of a Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis Protocol at an Academic Medical Center
TLDR
This article presents a “how-to” guide for implementation of a venous thromboembolism prophylaxis protocol at their hospital and provides readers with a practical approach.
Risk Factors for Postoperative Venous Thromboembolic Complications after Microsurgical Breast Reconstruction
TLDR
Patients sustaining postoperative VTE after microsurgical breast reconstruction are more likely to have an increased volume of blood transfusions and lack of discharge on postoperative aspirin.
Reoperation for haematoma after breast reduction with preoperative administration of low-molecular-weight heparin: experience in 720 patients.
Thromboprophylaxis in Abdominoplasty: Efficacy and Safety of a Complete Perioperative Protocol
TLDR
The described thromboprophylaxis protocol proved to be effective in the prevention ofThrombotic events, with an acceptable risk of hemorrhagic complications, and provides new evidence regarding the currently debated variables of chemoprophYLaxis, namely type, dosage, timing, and length.
Venous Thromboembolism: A Comparison of Chronic Spinal Cord Injury and General Surgery Patients in a Metropolitan Veterans Affairs Hospital
TLDR
Future efforts to elucidate how chronic spinal cord injury confers a protective mechanism may potentially influence the evolution of venous thromboembolism prevention guidelines, and spark the development of alternative prophylactic agents or customized application of prevention efforts.
The Impact of Once- versus Twice-Daily Enoxaparin Prophylaxis on Risk for Venous Thromboembolism and Clinically Relevant Bleeding
TLDR
Weight-based twice-daily enoxaparin dosing may optimize the risks and benefits of prophylactic anticoagulation after plastic and reconstructive surgery.
Safety and Efficacy of Novel Oral Anticoagulants vs Low Molecular Weight Heparin for Thromboprophylaxis in Large-Volume Liposuction and Body Contouring Procedures.
TLDR
Novel oral anticoagulants (Rivaroxaban and Apixiban) are comparable to LMWH for chemical prophylaxis after body contouring procedures with similar rates of drug-related complications.
Cost comparison between enoxaparin and new oral anticoagulants dabigatran and rivaroxaban in venous thromboembolism prophylaxis
TLDR
The cost of venous thromboembolism prophylaxis consisting of the new oral anticoagulants dabigatran and rivaroxaban is lower than that of low molecular weight heparin.

A Retrospective Study on the Use of a Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin for Thromboembolism Prophylaxis in Large-Volume Liposuction and Body Contouring Procedures
TLDR
The results show a 0% incidence of DVT and pulmonary embolism among patients who received enoxeparin as prophylaxis, and the use of en oxeparin is now part of their postoperative regimen in high-risk aesthetic surgery cases.

Deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolus after face lift: a study of incidence and prophylaxis.
TLDR
It was found that deep venous thrombosis/pulmonary embolus after face lift is a measurable complication experienced by one of nine surgeons surveyed, and aesthetic surgeons should consider adopting intermittent compression devices when performing face lift under general anesthesia.
