[Prevention of postoperative venous thromboembolism in patient with brain tumor].
The surgical treatment results in 610 patients with brain tumors and thromboembolic complications were analyzed. Deep venous thrombosis was registered in 8 (1.3%) patients; 0.65% of patients died from pulmonary thromboembolism. We used complex prevention measures including low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) fraxiparine to prevent thromboembolic complications after operation. LMWH may be considered as a part of treatment standards in patients with brain tumors.
