Prevention of venous thromboembolism: the Seventh ACCP Conference on Antithrombotic and Thrombolytic Therapy. Chest. 2004 Sep;126(3 Suppl):338S-400S High Incidence of Venous Thrombosis following Cardiac Surgery l November 7, 2007 l 2

  4. Deep venous thrombosis following hospital discharge: Ambrosetti M, Salerno M, Zambelli M, Mastropasqua F, Tramarin R, Pedretti RF. Deep vein thrombosis among patients entering cardiac rehabilitation after coronary artery bypass surgery. Chest 2004;125:191-6 High Incidence of Venous Thrombosis following Cardiac Surgery l November 7, 2007 l 4

  5. Aim of the study: • To evaluate incidence of symptomatic venous thrombosis after contemporary open heart surgery • To evaluate the relative time course and presenting locations of venous thrombosis High Incidence of Venous Thrombosis following Cardiac Surgery l November 7, 2007 l 5

  6. Inclusion criteria: • All patients who underwent cardiac surgery (emergent and non emergent) during the year 01/2004 to 12/2006 • Patients evaluated with imaging studies for clinical suspicion of venous thrombosis - Swelling, warmth, redness, pain related to the extremity - Heparin induced thrombocytopenia Exclusion criteria: • Patients with known venous thrombosis prior to the surgery High Incidence of Venous Thrombosis following Cardiac Surgery l November 7, 2007 l 6

  7. Methods: • Detailed post-operative data prospectively collected via Cleveland Clinic Cardiovascular Information Registry database (CVIR) • Vascular study information up to 30 days post-op reviewed • Stratified according to location of venous thrombosis; superficial venous thrombosis or deep venous thrombosis High Incidence of Venous Thrombosis following Cardiac Surgery l November 7, 2007 l 7

  8. Definitions: • Early venous thrombosis was defined as positive results between 0-15 days from the surgery • Late venous thrombosis was defined as positive results between 16-30 days after the surgery High Incidence of Venous Thrombosis following Cardiac Surgery l November 7, 2007 l 8

  9. Results: High Incidence of Venous Thrombosis following Cardiac Surgery l November 7, 2007 l 9

  10. Site of venous thrombosis: High Incidence of Venous Thrombosis following Cardiac Surgery l November 7, 2007 l 10

  11. Time to thrombosis (Deep venous thrombosis): Time in Days High Incidence of Venous Thrombosis following Cardiac Surgery l November 7, 2007 l 11

  12. Time to thrombosis (superficial and deep venous thrombosis): Time in days High Incidence of Venous Thrombosis following Cardiac Surgery l November 7, 2007 l 12

  13. Deep venous thrombosis in CABG and valve surgery only: 16.3% 14.9% 14% 9.7% High Incidence of Venous Thrombosis following Cardiac Surgery l November 7, 2007 l 13

  14. Limitation: • Single center, registry based study • May not include the studies performed outside the central vascular lab • Details of venous access site were not available • Selection bias of clinically indicated vascular studies High Incidence of Venous Thrombosis following Cardiac Surgery l November 7, 2007 l 14

  15. Conclusion: • Symptomatic venous thrombosis was found in 12% of patients undergoing open heart surgery in the contemporary era • Incidence of deep venous thrombosis was 8.2% • Over 3/4th of venous thrombosis were detected within 15 days post-operatively • Internal jugular (45.5%) and calf vein thromboses (34.9%) being the most common sites.
