Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<br> 1. Adjudicated venous thromboembolism, which was defined as deep vein thrombosis involving the inferior vena cava to popliteal vein or pulmonary embolism. Ultrasonography of the lower extremity vein is a routine examination. All patients had to be examined before and after surgery. Pulmonary embolism was confirmed by computed tomographic pulmonary angiography, when the patient's symptoms are suspected to be a pulmonary embolism.<br> 2. The primary safety outcome was bleeding, including major or clinically relevant nonmajor bleeding, according to Anderson’s criteria. Patients were followed for 90 days regarding venous thromboembolism and bleeding complications.<br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<br> Incidence of health issues in the 90 days following the intervention:<br> 1. Death<br> 2. Myocardial infarction<br> 3. Stroke<br> 4. Wound infection.<br>
