Risk factors and perioperative complications associated with deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism after lung transplantation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is common after lung transplantation, yet it can lead to serious complications, including pulmonary embolism (PE) and bleeding related to anticoagulation. The study aims to identify the risk factors for the development of DVT and PE to reduce the associated peri-operative complications.

Methods

A retrospective review of the lung transplant database identified 399 consecutive patients who underwent lung transplantation from 2018 to 2024. The patient demographics, peri-postoperative factors, and outcomes were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to predict PE in patients with DVT.

Results

The incidence of DVT in the cohort was 53.6%. The patient with DVT had increased postoperative mortality
