| Core Tip |
This is the first retrospective study to evaluate the utility of monitoring plasma D-dimer levels in the early diagnosis of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after hepatectomy. Thirteen (5.6%) patients were diagnosed with VTE following hepatectomy and none of the patients required intensive care unit management (or oxygen administration) due to worsening respiratory status. The VTE group tended to have significantly elevated postoperative plasma D-dimer. Elevated D-dimer on postoperative day 5 and increased intraoperative blood loss were risk factors in the development of VTE after hepatectomy. Monitoring of plasma D-dimer levels after hepatectomy may allow early detection of asymptomatic VTE and may help avoid routine postoperative anticoagulation. |
