Perioperative Venous Thromboembolism
KristenA.Ban, StefanD.Holubar,
andDanielL.Clarke-Pearson

Background
Epidemiology
Perioperative venous thromboembolism (VTE),
including deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and
pulmonary embolism (PE), remains an important
source of morbidity and mortality following pelvic surgery [1]. There is also signicant cost
associated with a VTE event, with each inpatient
VTE event associated with an estimated
$32,000 in added costs [2]. The Center for
Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) considers VTE a “never event” and penalizes hospitals
for higher-than-expected VTE complications following specic procedures [3].
The incidence of perioperative VTE is estimated between <1% and 29% following pelvic
surgery overall, with incidence varying depending on the indication for surgery and procedure
performed [4, 5]. Surgery for pelvic organ prolapse carries a low risk of VTE, 0.2% for all
approaches, with the highest risk in patients
undergoing an abdominal approach with concur-
rent hysterectomy (0.7%) [6]. Pelvic surgery for
malignancy and inammatory bowel disease carries the highest risk with incidence of 4–12% [7,
8]. The incidence of VTE in cancer patients
undergoing surgery without chemoprophylaxis
was previously measured at 29% but is lower in
the era of routine VTE chemoprophylaxis [5].
VTE rates following surgery for gynecologic
malignancy range from 3% for cervical cancer up
to 38% for ovarian cancer [9]. The risk of VTE is
also elevated in patients undergoing pelvic surgery for inammatory bowel disease, with ulcerative colitis having the highest incidence [8, 10].
The incidence of VTE following proctectomy is
highest for ulcerative colitis (UC) patients at
3.2% followed by Crohn’s disease (CD) at 1.5%
and lowest for malignancy (1.4%) [11].
VTE events are the most common preventable
cause of 30-day mortality in patients undergoing
surgery for malignancy [12]. Notably, many postoperative VTE events occur after discharge from
the hospital. One third of VTE events following
oncologic surgery occur after discharge and an
even higher proportion occur following discharge
after surgery for pelvic organ prolapse [6, 13].

Risk Factors
General risk factors for VTE in addition to indication for surgery include older age, higher body
mass index (BMI), inpatient hospitalization after

surgery, American Society of Anesthesiologists
(ASA) Classication 3 or 4, prolonged operative
time, preoperative renal failure, and chronic steroid use [4, 6, 14]. Important risk factors include
prior history of VTE (especially “unprovoked”)
and known clotting disorders. Preoperative
Hematology or Vascular Medicine referral for
thrombophilia testing and perioperative management should be considered [15].
Estrogen-based contraception or therapy and
tamoxifen treatment are also important modiable preoperative risk factors in women [16–19].
Oral combined hormonal menopausal therapy
was associated with the highest risk of VTE in
the nonsurgical population [19].
In the IBD population, surgery-specic risk
factors for postoperative VTE include open surgery, emergency surgery, corticosteroids, malnutrition, functional status, ileostomy creation, and
others [8, 14]. Patients with anemia, bleeding disorders, and bleeding are a particularly at-risk
group as they often have their chemoprophylaxis
held. Preoperative hospitalization was also shown
to be a risk factor in a dose-dependent manner
[20]. VTE risk in the perioperative period can be
assessed with a validated measure such as the
Caprini score, but this measure is relatively
insensitive within sub-populations such as IBD
or gynecologic cancer [21–23]. The Caprini score
considers age, gender, type of surgery, comorbidities, venous disease, and clotting disorder
risk. Most pelvic surgery is considered “Major”
according to the Caprini score denition of more
than 45min under anesthesia or any surgery with
a laparoscopic approach.
Prevention
A variety of modalities are employed to prevent
perioperative VTE [Fig. 1.1]. Early mobilization
after surgery, mechanical prophylaxis with compression stockings and/or sequential compression devices (SCDs), and chemoprophylaxis are
all thromboprophylaxis interventions [1]. Most,
if not all, of these modalities are routinely
included in perioperative care pathways like
enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols [24]. Extended chemoprophylaxis following
discharge from the hospital is also selectively
employed to decrease VTE events in high-risk
populations [13, 25].
Chemoprophylaxis
Chemoprophylaxis refers to the prevention of
VTE with administration of medication.
Acceptable chemoprophylaxis agents include
subcutaneous unfractionated heparin and lowmolecular weight heparin (enoxaparin) as well as
oral agents like apixaban and rivaroxaban. In the
immediate postoperative period, subcutaneous
agents are often favored as their shorter half-life
(i.e., reversibility) is advantageous in the event of
a bleeding complication.
Preoperative Chemoprophylaxis
Preoperative chemoprophylaxis is generally
employed for patients undergoing major pelvic

surgery under general anesthesia extrapolating
from data in the cancer population that this practice reduces perioperative VTE without increasing bleeding risk [26]. The American Society of
Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Guidelines recommend chemoprophylaxis prior to major oncologic surgery with subcutaneous unfractionated
heparin or enoxaparin unless contraindicated due
to active bleeding, high risk of bleeding, or other
contraindications [27]. Most enhanced recovery
after surgery (ERAS) guidelines recommend preoperative mechanical and chemoprophylaxis
prior to induction of general anesthesia for major
pelvic operations in the absence of contraindications [9, 28].
Timing ofPostoperative
Chemoprophylaxis
In the absence of postoperative bleeding concerns, chemoprophylaxis should be readministered within 24h of surgery. In patients
who receive regional anesthesia with an epidural,
consideration must be given to the timing of the
most recent dose of chemoprophylaxis prior to
epidural removal; a strategy of dosing in the evening so the epidural catheter may be removed the
following morning may be helpful.
Mechanical Prophylaxis
Mechanical prophylaxis with compression stockings or SCDs can be employed to prevent perioperative VTE.Mechanical prophylaxis with SCDs
is initiated prior to the induction of general anesthesia in the operating room. The CHEST
Guidelines support the use of mechanical prophylaxis postoperatively for patients who have
undergone inpatient pelvic surgery with intermittent pneumatic compression (e.g., SCDs) preferred over compression stockings [1]. Patients at
moderate to high risk of VTE (most patients
undergoing inpatient pelvic surgery) should
receive both mechanical and chemoprophylaxis,
but in patients at high risk for bleeding, mechanical prophylaxis alone is recommended over no
prophylaxis [1]. In the cancer population, ASCO
Guidelines also recommend mechanical prophylaxis as an adjunct to chemoprophylaxis and do
not endorse mechanical prophylaxis as monotherapy unless chemoprophylaxis is contraindicated [27].
Early Mobilization
Early mobilization after surgery is an effective
means of decreasing VTE events and is now supported by guidelines and emphasized in most
ERAS pathways, regardless of the indication for
surgery [1, 24]. Although early ambulation
decreases VTE risk during hospital admission
following surgery, the use of mechanical prophylaxis with SCDs and chemoprophylaxis is still
recommended in patients at moderate to high risk
of postoperative VTE.
Extended Postoperative Chemoprophylaxis
Extended chemoprophylaxis in high-risk populations has been evaluated in both randomized controlled trials and observational studies and has
been found to be safe and effective [7, 29–31]. A
systematic review and meta-analysis conrmed
these ndings [25]. Multiple guidelines support
the use of extended chemoprophylaxis in the
oncology population including the American
College of Chest Physicians (ACCP), the ASCO,
and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network
(NCCN) [1, 27, 32]. The ASCO Guidelines recommend extended chemoprophylaxis following
major oncologic surgery for a minimum of 7days
and up to 4weeks in high-risk patients including
those with restricted mobility, obesity, history of
VTE, and others [27, 33].
Given the elevated risk of postoperative VTE
in the IBD population relative to the oncology
population, extended chemoprophylaxis is also
recommended following major abdominal or pelvic surgery for IBD [34]. A systematic review of
extended chemoprophylaxis in patients with IBD
undergoing major surgery found that no data
exist at present to guide extended chemoprophylaxis recommendations [14]. Within the identi-

6
K. A. Ban et al.
ed studies, VTE events occurred within varying
timeframes up to 30 days from surgery [14].
Based on these ndings and the demonstrated
safety of extended VTE chemoprophylaxis in the
oncology population, extended chemoprophylaxis is also recommended for patients with IBD
undergoing major pelvic surgery. The American
Society of Colon & Rectal Surgeons has also
recently updated their Venous Thromboembolism
Clinical Practice Guidelines to include strong
consideration of extended prophylaxis for
colorectal cancer patients and consideration for
IBD patients [33]. The main barriers to postdischarge chemoprophylaxis are adherence and
patient cost. Orthopedic literature suggests oral
agents were not associated with increased adherence, and cost was recently shown to be a signicant barrier for most colorectal surgery patients
[35, 36].
Prophylactic IVC Filters
IVC lters are not recommended for prophylaxis prior to or following surgery in the general surgical population. Even among patients
undergoing major oncologic surgery with contraindications to chemoprophylaxis, the ASCO
Guidelines do not recommend prophylactic
placement of IVC lters, noting an absence of
randomized trials evaluating this practice and
data on the potential long-term harm of IVC lters [27].
Diagnosis
Clinical Assessment
andPhysicalExam
Clinical symptoms of DVT or PE can prompt further workup to conrm a VTE event. The assessment should begin with a history and physical
exam to elicit risk factors for VTE and to evaluate
for physical exam ndings. Extremity swelling
with associated tenderness is consistent with
DVT, while acute dyspnea, chest pain, hemoptysis, tachycardia, and increased oxygen require-
ments are signs concerning for PE. There are
often additional diagnoses in the differential for
symptoms like lower extremity swelling or dyspnea, so an initial workup should be broad. Of
note, portomesenteric vein thrombosis is often
detected incidentally during routine crosssectional imaging for postoperative ileus or highileostomy output [37].
Labs andTesting
Useful laboratory testing in the assessment of a
possible VTE event includes D-dimer to assess
for DVT and/or PE and an arterial blood gas
(ABG) and electrocardiogram (ECG) for
PE. Because additional diagnoses are initially
included in the differential, additional testing is
typically warranted. A complete blood count
(CBC) and basic metabolic panel (BMP) may be
included, and depending on symptoms, a chest
X-ray, B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), or troponin may also be appropriate.
D-dimer is a sensitive marker for VTE in the
nonsurgical population but can be elevated in the
inammatory state that follows major pelvic surgery. D-dimer levels greater than 500 mg/mL
suggest presence of a PE; however, D-dimer levels normally increase with age. To avoid falsepositive results, an age-adjusted D-dimer
threshold should be employed, calculated as the
patient’s age multiplied by 10ng/mL for patients
over 50 years [38]. A normal age-adjusted
D-dimer can help avoid unnecessary imaging and
rule out PE when the Pulmonary Embolism RuleOut Criteria pretest probability is low [38]. An
elevated D-dimer should prompt additional evaluation with imaging to conrm the diagnosis.
ABG and ECG ndings are not sensitive but
can increase or decrease index of suspicion for a
clinically signicant PE.An ABG may demonstrate hypoxemia and hypocapnia (respiratory
alkalosis), and an ECG may demonstrate signs of
right-heart strain including a new right bundle
branch block, rightward shift of the QRS axis, ST
segment elevation in V1, atrial premature contractions, sinus tachycardia, atrial brillation/utter,
or T wave inversions in leads V1–V4 [39].

In the evaluation of extremity swelling, a
CBC, BNP, and assessment of volume status can
help evaluate for cellulitis, heart failure exacerbation, and volume overload resulting in bilateral
peripheral edema. In the evaluation of PE, a
CXR, ECG, and troponin can evaluate for other
pathology such as pneumonia, pneumothorax,
and acute coronary syndrome.
Imaging
The diagnosis of a VTE event is conrmed with
imaging. Compression ultrasonography is
employed to conrm the presence of a DVT but
may be limited in the morbidly obese, and
venous-phase computed tomography (CT) of the
pelvic vessels may show large groin clots.
Computed tomography pulmonary angiography
(CT-PE) is considered the gold-standard for diagnosis of acute PE.In patients with a contraindication to the contrast medium employed in CT-PE
(allergy to contrast, acute or chronic renal failure), ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) scintigraphy
may be considered. Alternatively, compression
ultrasonography of the lower extremities can be
obtained, as a proximal DVT in a patient with
suspected PE is highly predictive and justies
treatment. Importantly, though, a negative lower
extremity ultrasound does not rule out PE.
Treatment
Therapeutic Anticoagulation
In patients without a contraindication, therapeutic anticoagulation is the preferred management
of acute VTE [1, 27]. Therapeutic anticoagulation promotes clot resorption while preventing
clot extension, hemodynamic collapse, DVT progression to PE, recurrent VTE, and mortality in
the acute phase [38]. These benets must be
weighed against the risk of bleeding, particularly
in the postoperative setting. A postoperative VTE
is considered “provoked,” with the risk of recur-
rence after treatment being low at <1% after
1-year and 3% after 5-years [40]. Anticoagulation
is recommended for 3months because randomized trials have demonstrated that the long-term
bleeding risk outweighs the risk of recurrent VTE
beyond this timeframe, apart from patients with
cancer in whom the annualized risk of VTE is
much higher at 15% [27, 38].
Medication Options
Initial therapeutic options include unfractionated
heparin as a continuous infusion with dosing
guided by activated partial thromboplastin time
(aPTT) assessment and therapeutic weight-based
subcutaneous enoxaparin, which are appealing as
they can be quickly held with a relatively short
half-life in the case of bleeding. If the bleeding
risk is low, oral anticoagulants are recommended
due to ease of administration. Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), including direct thrombin
inhibitors like dabigatran and factor Xa inhibitors
like rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban, have
been evaluated and are recommended by multiple
guidelines for the treatment of acute DVT and PE
[40–42]. The DOAC agents are favored due to
their rapid onset of action and predictable pharmacokinetics, which do not require ongoing laboratory assessment to titrate [38]. Vitamin K
antagonists like warfarin remain preferred for
patients with severe renal impairment [38]. A
summary of recommended therapeutic agents is
provided in Table1.1 along with populations in
whom a particular agent might be preferred.
In the oncology population, the ASCO
Guidelines support initial therapeutic anticoagulation with agents including unfractionated heparin, enoxaparin, fondaparinux, and rivaroxaban
[27]. The NCCN Guidelines endorse monotherapy with unfractionated heparin, enoxaparin,
dalteparin, and fondaparinux at doses listed in
Table 1.2 [43]. Guidelines endorse additional
agents including warfarin or edoxaban with a
bridge like enoxaparin or dalteparin until the
patient reaches therapeutic drug levels [43].

Thrombolysis andSuction
Thrombectomy
Thrombolysis should be considered in the setting
of a DVT where the extremity is at risk or in
patients with a PE and hemodynamic instability.
Catheter-directed thrombolysis can be considered for DVT, and systemic thrombolysis or suction thrombectomy can be considered for
hemodynamically unstable PE [38]. In patients
with large central clots who are high risk of
bleeding preoperatively, suction thrombectomy
may be considered [44]. Many hospitals have
implemented PE response teams to facilitate
timely interventional treatment for unstable
patients. Thrombolysis carries a risk of bleeding,
which is even more signicant in the setting of
recent major pelvic surgery. The risks of inter-
ventional procedures must therefore be weighed
against the risk of bleeding in the immediate
postsurgical period. Patients in whom the bleeding risk is felt to be prohibitive should be evaluated for IVC lter placement.
IVC Filter Placement
IVC lter placement can be considered for
patients with acute proximal DVT or PE who are
not candidates for systemic anticoagulation or
thrombolysis [38]. The use of an IVC lter for
3months in combination with therapeutic anticoagulation for patients with severe acute PE was
recently evaluated in a randomized trial with no
reduction in recurrent PE or death at 3- and
6-month follow- up [45]. In the cancer population, the ASCO Guidelines recommend against
the insertion of IVC lters as prophylaxis in
patients with chronic thrombosis (VTE diagnosis
more than 4weeks prior) but support IVC lter
placement consideration in patients with acute
VTE (diagnosis within the last 4 weeks) with
absolute contraindication to anticoagulant therapy if the thrombus burden is considered lifethreatening [27]. There is increased awareness
about short- and long- term risks associated with
the presence of an IVC lter. When no longer
necessary, IVC lters should be removed. Some
patients are candidates for therapeutic anticoagu-

1 Perioperative Venous Thromboembolism

lation further out from surgery, at which point
surveillance imaging may demonstrate resolution
of the thrombus. In these cases, IVC lters can
and should be removed to prevent complications
like lter migration, fracture, perforation, lter
thrombus, and caval and/or iliac thrombosis.
Duration ofAnticoagulation
The recommended duration of anticoagulation
following a provoked (postsurgical) VTE is
3months [38, 40], except in the cancer population where treatment should be continued until
the cancer has been treated or at the discretion of
the patient’s medical oncologist.

Modern-Enhanced Recovery After
Surgery (ERAS) forMajor Pelvic
Surgery
LeileiXia andSiamakDaneshmand
2
In 1997, Dr. Henrik Kehlet from Denmark asked
“why a technically successful operation, whether
a colonic resection, hip replacement, or cardiac
operation, should result in an unsuccessful outcome” [1]. He then described the multifactorial
surgical stress response that can potentially be
addressed with interventions. The goal of reducing the stress response from surgery and shortening the time required for full recovery to improve
patient outcomes was the foundation of the modern Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS).
ERAS is a patient-centered, multidisciplinary,
and evidence-based approach to surgical care.
The original ERAS pathway was developed from
colorectal surgery and the rst ERAS Study
Group evidence-based consensus protocol was
published in 2005 for those undergoing colorectal surgery [2]. After that, these multidisciplinary
efforts to improve perioperative care across a
wide spectrum of patients have been implemented within many surgical disciplines, including urology [3]. A growing body of evidence
indicates that structured application of evidencebased principles and standardization of perioperative care signicantly improve clinical outcomes
[3–7]. In 2010, the ERAS® Society was ofcially
registered as a nonprot medical society based in

There are more than 30 guidelines published by
the ERAS® Society and collaborators (https://
erassociety.org/guidelines/). In 2013, the ERAS
Society published guidelines for perioperative
care after radical cystectomy (RC) [8]. In 2016,
the ERAS® Society—Urology chapter was
formed at the world congress in Lisbon.
RC with pelvic lymph node dissection
(PLND) and urinary diversion (UD) is among
the most complex urologic operations associated with considerable morbidity and prolonged inpatient stay [9–11]. Hospital stay
after RC/PLND/UD is still among the minimally changed in the past decade, and the
length of stays (LOS) remains in the 6–7days
range in the United States and 10–17 days
range in Europe [5]. RC/PLND/UD has been
the target for ERAS pathways because of the
complexity of care and the incidence of perioperative complications. A meta-analysis from
2016 included 13 studies (801 ERAS patients
versus 692 controls) that showed complication
rates favored the ERAS group (39.6% versus
51.5%) in patients undergoing RC [5]. It also
showed reduced LOS and faster return of bowel
function. Multiple other meta-analyses with
updated studies conrmed ERAS for radical
cystectomy can achieve better perioperative
outcomes [4, 12, 13]. This chapter will be
mainly using RC/PLND/UD as an example to
further discuss ERAS protocols and we believe
