Abstract: | At a recently concluded Americas Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association Annual Meeting, a Clinical Practice Guidelines Conference Series was convened with the topic focusing on Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) Prophylaxis in Liver Surgery. The symposium brought together hepatobiliary surgeons from three continents as well as medical experts in hematology and coagulation. The content of the discussion included literature reviews, evaluation of multi-institutional VTE outcome data, and examination of practice patterns at multiple high-volume centers. Literature review demonstrated that, within gastrointestinal surgery, liver resection patients are at particularly high-risk for VTE. Recent evidence clearly indicates a direct relationship between the magnitude of hepatectomy and postoperative VTE rates, however, the PT/INR does not accurately reflect the coagulation status of the post-hepatectomy patient. Evaluation of available data and practice patterns regarding the utilization and timing of anticoagulant VTE prophylaxis led to recommendations regarding preoperative and postoperative thromboprophylaxis for liver surgery patients. This conference was effective in consolidating our knowledge of coagulation abnormalities after liver resection. Based on the expert review of the available data and practice patterns, a number of recommendations were developed. |
