Abstract

Background

Liver resection increases venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk due to malignancy-related hyper-coagulopathy and surgical inflammation. Current guidelines recommend early post-operative and extended pharmacologic prophylaxis for all patients but lack stratification by patient or surgical factors. Despite these guidelines, surgeon preferences influence prophylaxis practices. This study aimed to identify clinical factors associated with VTE following liver resection.

Methods

Using data from the Hemorrhage During Liver Resection (HeLiX) trial, a randomized clinical trial of patients undergoing liver resection for cancer, univariate comparisons and logistic regression were performed.

Results

Study cohort VTE incidence was 4.1 %. Multivariable analysis identified major liver resection (odds ratio (OR) 2.59, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.38–5.03) and higher estimated blood loss (EBL) (OR 1.14 per 500 mL increase, 95 % CI 1.03–1.26) as associated with increased risk. Surgical duration (OR 1.14 per hour increase, 95 % CI 0.95–1.34) and use of tranexamic acid (OR 1.77, 95 % CI 0.98–3.27) did not reach statistical significance. VTE rate was highly dependent on extent of resection (1–2 segments, 1.7 %; 3–4 segments, 5.4 %; >4 segments, 6.7 %).

Conclusion

Major resection and increased EBL are associated with higher risk of VTE. These patients may warrant more intensive prophylax compared to those having minor resections with minimal blood loss.

期刊介绍： HPB is an international forum for clinical, scientific and educational communication. Twelve issues a year bring the reader leading articles, expert reviews, original articles, images, editorials, and reader correspondence encompassing all aspects of benign and malignant hepatobiliary disease and its management. HPB features relevant aspects of clinical and translational research and practice. Specific areas of interest include HPB diseases encountered globally by clinical practitioners in this specialist field of gastrointestinal surgery. The journal addresses the challenges faced in the management of cancer involving the liver, biliary system and pancreas. While surgical oncology represents a large part of HPB practice, submission of manuscripts relating to liver and pancreas transplantation, the treatment of benign conditions such as acute and chronic pancreatitis, and those relating to hepatobiliary infection and inflammation are also welcomed. There will be a focus on developing a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment with endoscopic and laparoscopic approaches, radiological interventions and surgical techniques being strongly represented. HPB welcomes submission of manuscripts in all these areas and in scientific focused research that has clear clinical relevance to HPB surgical practice. HPB aims to help its readers - surgeons, physicians, radiologists and basic scientists - to develop their knowledge and practice. HPB will be of interest to specialists involved in the management of hepatobiliary and pancreatic disease however will also inform those working in related fields. Abstracted and Indexed in: MEDLINE® EMBASE PubMed Science Citation Index Expanded Academic Search (EBSCO) HPB is owned by the International Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association (IHPBA) and is also the official Journal of the American Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association (AHPBA), the Asian-Pacific Hepato Pancreatic Biliary Association (A-PHPBA) and the European-African Hepato-Pancreatic Biliary Association (E-AHPBA).
