Postoperative D-dimer predicts venous thromboembolism in patients undergoing urologic tumor surgery

We examined the incidence of pulmonary thromboembolism (PE) and deep venous thromboembolism (DVT) in patients who underwent urologic tumor surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate the postoperative D-dimer for prediction of venous thromboembolism events (VTE), as well as to identify other risk factors associated with the occurrence of thromboembolisms.
