    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurred in 14% of patients after intracranial aneurysm surgery. Anticoagulation was safe and effective, suggesting a need for prophylactic measures in high-risk patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Thrombosis Research

    Background:

    • Intracranial aneurysms require surgical intervention.
    • Postoperative complications, including thromboembolic events, are a concern in neurosurgical patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients undergoing intracranial aneurysm surgery.
    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of anticoagulation therapy for DVT in this patient population.
    • To propose a prophylaxis strategy for high-risk individuals.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective study of 100 consecutive patients.
    • Diagnosis of DVT confirmed by contrast venography in symptomatic patients.
    • Treatment involved bed rest and anticoagulation (intravenous and oral).

    Main Results:

    • The incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) was 14% among the studied patients.
    • Anticoagulation therapy was initiated for diagnosed DVTs.
    • No complications attributed to anticoagulation were reported.

    Conclusions:

    • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a significant complication following intracranial aneurysm surgery.
    • Anticoagulation appears safe and effective for managing DVT in these patients.
    • A targeted postoperative prophylaxis program is recommended for high-risk patients to prevent thromboembolic disease.
