“ ASSESSMENT OF THE RISK FACTORS AND PROPORTION OF DEVELOPMENT OF DVT IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING MAJOR SURGERIES”

Abstract

DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS REPRESENTS A SIGNIFICANT GLOBAL HEALTH CONCERN, LEADING TO CONSIDERABLE MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY. ITS SPECTRUM OF CONSEQUENCES RANGES FROM VENOUS STASIS TO POTENTIALLY FATAL PULMONARY EMBOLISM, WITH DEEP LEG VEINS BEING THE MOST COMMONLY AFFECTED. WHILE THE POST-THROMBOTIC SYNDROME CONTRIBUTES TO LONG-TERM MORBIDITY, THE PRIMARY CONCERN REMAINS THE RISK OF THROMBUS EMBOLIZATION TO THE LUNGS.
