title: [Prevention and medical treatment of deep vein thrombosis in patients with abdominal tumors after the radical operation].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To summarize the prevention and treatment experience of deep vein thrombosis in patients with abdominal tumors after standardized resection and lymph node dissection, and to investigate a standard therapeutic measure of thrombosis prevention in these patients.
  
  
  METHODS
  The clinical data of 548 patients who received radical operation and standardized lymph node dissection for abdominal tumors from January 2007 to April 2010 were analyzed retrospectively. According to different therapeutic scheme and time, the patients were divided into three groups: Group 1 included 163 cases from January 2007 to March 2008 were treated with compound Danshen injection 0.2 g and low molecular weight dextran 500 ml on the same day of surgery for 7 days; Group 2 included 149 cases from April 2008 to March 2009 were treated with the same regimen as that in Group 1 plus low molecular heparin 40 mg on the same day of surgery for 7 days; Group 3 included 236 cases from April 2009 to April 2010 were treated with the same regimen as that in Group 1 plus low molecular heparin on the third day of surgery for 7 days. The treatment effects and the complications in the three groups were analyzed and compared.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Sixty-four (39.3%) cases were D-Dimer positive and 15 (9.2%) cases were DVT positive under color Doppler ultrasound examination in Group 1; and those were 38 (25.5%) and 3 (2.0%) in Group 2; and 62 (26.3%) and 6(2.5%) in Group 3. Overall observation, the incidences of thrombosis in Group 2 and 3 were obviously lower than that of Group 1, but there was no significant difference between Group 2 and 3. Earlier use of low molecular heparin would lead to some complications.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It brings better effects in thrombosis prevention by using compound Danshen injection and low molecular weight dextran on the day of surgery, with low molecular heparin on the third day of surgery.
