Hypercoagulable state and effect of low-molecular-weight heparin prophylaxis on coagulation after lung cancer resection: results from thrombo-elastography

Lung cancer patients undergoing surgery are at increased risk for Venous thromboembolism (VTE). We monitored changes in perioperative coagulation status through Thrombo-elastography (TEG), and monitored the anticoagulant effect of low molecular weight heparin through TEG for the first time.
