Abstract：Bariatric surgical procedure is one of the common methods of obesity treatment with established effectiveness now. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) events, which include deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, are the important sources of postoperative morbidity and mortality among bariatric surgery patients. Due to an understanding of the frequency and seriousness of those complications, bariatric surgery patients typically receive some method of VTE prophylaxis with lower extremity compression, pharmacologic prophylaxis, or both. However, the optimal approach in those patients is unclear. In contrast, the prevention of VTE after bariatric surgery is lack of prospective randomized study.
