Venous thromboembolism in surgery: Risk, prevention and treatment

Tromboembolismo venoso en cirugía: Riesgo, prevención y tratamiento

Prego, Alfredo

Resumen:

A revision is made of venous thromboembolism related to surgery, emphasizing detection of congenital or acquired alterations in the coagulationlfibrinolysis system. High-risk patients for lower limb venous thrombosis were identified; thrombo-prophylaxis measures are highly recommended in these cases. An up-to-date of thrombosis treatment is made; the option of fibrinolytic therapy remains as an element to be used in selected cases, as a means of decreasing post-phlebitic sequels .


Se realiza una revisión del tromboembolismo venoso en relación con el acto quirúrgico, haciendo hincapié en la detección de alteraciones congénitas o adquiridas del sistema coagulaciónlfibrinólisis.Se identificaron pacientes de "alto riesgo" para desarrollar trombosis venosas de los miembros inferiores y para ellos aconsejamos enérgicamente la realización de medidas de tromboprofilaxis. Finalmente hemos realizado una actualización del tratamiento de la trombosis establecida dejando abierta la opción de la terapia fibrinolftica como un elemento a usar, en casos seleccionados, para tratar de disminuir las secuelas posflebíticas.
