About this study

Official title: Pulmonary Embolism After Liver Resection: A Prospective Analysis of Risk Factors

Major surgery is associated with a postoperative hypercoagulable state related to the surgical trauma that may lead to thromboembolic complications. To the investigators knowledge, only two series have reported the risk of PE after liver surgery with an incidence of up to 6.3% The purpose of this study is to identify the independent risk factors associated with the development of PE after elective liver surgery.
