Background:
Gastric carcinoma (GC) is a common lethal cancer in the world. Patients are prone to develop lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (LEDVT) after laparoscopic radical gastrectomy (LRG), which threatens their life and health.
Purpose:
This research is to clarify the preventive action of rivaroxaban (Riv) against LEDVT in patients undergoing LRG.
Methods:
A retrospective study was conducted on 70 patients with GC admitted for LRG between January 2019 and January 2022, including 40 patients (observation group) receiving Riv treatment and 30 patients (conventional group) treated with air wave pressure therapy apparatus. Quality of life, coagulation function, LEDVT formation, and complications were compared between groups.
Results:
The observation group had better recovery of life quality than the control group, along with more effective inhibition of coagulation disorders, less DVT formation, and fewer complications.
Conclusions:
Compared with air wave pressure therapy apparatus, Riv has better preventive action against LEDVT in GC patients after LRG.
