Indications
- surgery
- acute spinal cord injury with leg paralysis
- multiple trauma
- hospitalization, immobilization
- hypercoagulability
- hypercoagulabity of malignancy (see Khorana Risk Score)
- recurrent deep vein thrombosis
- high-risk patients with lung cancer or gastrointestinal cancer[53]
Clinical significance
- reduces incidence of DVT & pulmonary embolism in at risk patients
- does not reduce mortality[13][25]
- no strong evidence that postoperative anticoagulation lowers incidence of fatal pulmonary embolism[44]
Management
- general surgery
- low risk:* no prophylaxis
- Caprini score = 0 -> early ambulation
- Caprini score = 1-2 -> intermittent pneumatic compression
- low to moderate risk non-orthopedic surgery patients do not benefit from chemoprophylaxis for venous thromboembolism[50]
- moderate-high risk:* (includes cancer patients)
- Caprini score >= 3
- unfractionated heparin vs LMH heparin + intermittent pneumatic compression
- unfractionated heparin
- dalteparin
- 2500 U SC 2 hours preoperatively
- 2500-5000 U SC QD postoperatively
- continue for 28 days postoperatively in cancer patients[1] (abdominal cancer surgery especially high risk)
- other LMW heparin
- very high risk:*
- unfractionated heparin vs dalteparin
- intermittent pneumatic compression (intraoperatively)
- perioperative warfarin, INR 2.0-3.0
- do not use pharmacologic prophylaxis if high risk of bleeding
- pharmacologic prophylaxis preferable to intermittent compression devices unless risks of bleeding outweigh benefits[12]
- pharmacologic prophylaxis in combination with intermittent compression device unless risks of bleeding outweigh benefits[1]
- pneumatic compression devices
- not useful when added to pharmacologic prophylaxis in critically ill[39]
- useful when pharmacologic prophylaxis is contraindicated
- not recommended as only prophylaxis unless increased risk of bleeding[1]
- intermittent pneumatic compression# for 10 days after hip or knee surgery (in addition to 35 days of pharmacologic prophylaxis)
- compression stockings
- do not use compression stockings for prophylaxis[1][12][35]
- skin damgage cited as harm[12]
- intermittent compression devices may be considered[35]
- graduated compression stockings for post surgical patients
- number needed to treat to prevent 1 DVT = 7-9[28]
- unknown number harmed from discomfort[28]
- effectiveness of graduated compression stockings for hospitalized medical patients is uncertain[28]
- do not use compression stockings for prophylaxis[1][12][35]
- rates of venous thromboembolism in hospitalized post-op surgical patients correlates directly rather than inversely with rates of prophylaxis, suggesting vigilance for VTE rather than prophylaxis determines rate of VTE[22]
- low risk:* no prophylaxis
- major orthopedic surgery (includes osteotomy, arthroplasty)
- minimum or 10-14 days after orthopedic surgery[1]
- in patients without bleeding risk, up to 35 days preferable[1]
- LMW heparin or fondaparinux during hospitalization & for 6 weeks after discharge
- total hip replacement
- postoperative enoxaparin 30-40 mg SC every 12 hours for 30 days, begun 12-24 hours preoperatively
- fondaparinux (Arixtra)
- more effective than LMW heparin following orthopedic surgery[1]
- 2.5 mg SC QD
- intermittent pneumatic compression# for 10 days
- warfarin (see direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) for safety vs warfarin)
- begun preoperatively

- hip fracture surgery
- enoxaparin 30 mg SC every 12 hours begun 12 hours preoperatively for 30 days + pneumatic compression device# for 10 days[5]
- fondaparinux (Arixtra)
- more effective than LMW heparin following orthopedic surgery[1]
- 2.5 mg SC QD
- warfarin adjusted to INR 2.0-3.0 (see DOAC for safety vs warfarin)
- aspirin 162 mg/day if other options not viable[15]
- aspirin associated with similar mortality & pulmonary embolism as enoxaparin; DVT (most distal) more common with aspirin (2.5% vs 1.7%)[51]
- total knee replacement[5]
- postoperative enoxaparin 30 mg SC every 12 hours for 30 days begun 12-24 hours preoperatively
- fondaparinux (Arixtra)
- more effective than LMW heparin following orthopedic surgery[1]
- 2.5 mg SC QD
- intermittent pneumatic compression# for 10 days
- may be safely carried out with INR < 2.0
- warfarin continued for 30 days is alternative (see DOAC for safety vs warfarin)[1]
- factor Xa inhibitors more effective than LMW heparin[16][17]
- aspirin 162 mg/day if other options not viable[15][42]
- rivaroxaban 10 mg QD for 14 days[33]
- rivaroxaban 10 mg QD for 5 days followed by aspirin 81 mg QD for 9 days as effective as rivaroxaban for 14 days[33]
- rivaroxaban monotherapy is the most effective strategy for preventing DVT after elective total knee replacement[41]
- knee arthroscopy, low risk -> early ambulation
- lower leg orthopedic surgery
- lower leg, ankle or foot surgery - no VTE prophylaxis
- isolated lower leg fracture repair - no VTE prophylaxis
- neurosurgery (1 or 2, or 1 & 2)
- intermittent pneumatic compression immediately following cranial surgery[1]
- LMW heparin or warfarin
- acute spinal cord injury with leg paralysis (1 or 2 or 3)

- LMW heparin may reduce hospital costs due to pulmonary embolism & heparin-induced thrombocytopenia[26]
- LMW heparin with better benefit/risk ratio than unfractionated heparin or direct-acting oral anticoagulants in hospitalized patients[48]
- high-risk acutely ill patients may benefit from extended prophylaxis[10]
- neither unfractionated heparin nor LMW heparin significantly effects mortality[12][13]
- uncertain benefit in frail elderly[27]
- extended anticoagulation with factor Xa inhibitor for additional 35-42 days may diminish incidence of VTE at the cost of higher risk of bleeding[31]
- extended VTE prophylaxis with rivaroxaban after nonsurgical hospitalization of no benefit[37]
- cataracts or lens implantation
- arthroplasty, gastrectomy, cholecystectomy, major gynecologic surgery may be safely carried out with INR < 2.0
- hypercoagulability of malignancy
- routine prophylaxis for venous thromboembolism not indicated for all outpatients with cancer[1]
- Khorana Risk score estimates risk of thrombosis in cancer patients[1]

- when bleeding has resolved, resume anticoagulation & remove the filter [24
- cancer surgery: enoxaparin 40 mg SC QD for 1 month[1][3]; >= 7-10 days[46]
- coagulation factor deficiency
- recurrent deep vein thrombosis
- anticoagulation with warfarin, INR = 2.0-3.0 (90% effective)
- low-intensity anticoagulation, INR = 1.5-2.0 (75% effective)
- risk of bleeding no different[4]
- low-dose aspirin is safer, but less effective[18]
- bed-bound patients in nursing home or at home
- risk of DVT is high
- absence of evidence for benefit of prophylaxis[9]
- pregnant women with prior venous thromboembolism
- weight-based low dose low molecular weight heparin 40-60 mg once daily held at the time of deliver & continued 6 weeks postpartum[49]
- intermediate dose low molecular weight heparin 60-120 mg once daily with similar outcomes[49]
- low-risk patients
- rosuvastatin & other statins may further reduce risk[7]
- life-long anticoagulation for:
- 2 or more spontaneous episodes of DVT
- 1 spontaneous, life-threatening venous thromoembolism
- 1 spontaneous venous thromboembolism in a patient with hypercoagulability
* see perioperative risk stratification
# TED hose not effective[5]; data supporting efficacy of pneumatic compression devices are almost exclusively limited to surgical patients[1][20]
Notes
- warfarin more effective for secondary prevention of VTE than dabigatran, rivaroxaban & apixaban, but associated with greater risk of major hemorrhage[23]
- IMPROVE BRS & IMPROVE VTE risk scores, calculated at hospital admission, may be helpful in decisions regarding pharmacologic prophylaxis for VTE[30]
- excessive venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in hospitalized patients, particularly in low-risk patients[36]
- high-intensity statin in combination with PCSK9 inhibitor may reduce risk of venous thromboembolism[54]*
* unlikely to become a standard of care
