In light of the methods generally used to assess the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), major vascular operations should be regarded as high risk procedures. Nevertheless, no principles for implementing and maintaining thromboprophylaxis have so far been developed. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and nature of VTE occurrence in patients routinely applying pharmacological thromboprophylaxis following implantation of an aorto-bifemoral prosthesis.The prospective non-randomized study included 105 patients with aortoiliac obstruction and 119 patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) treated surgically. During hospitalization pharmacological thromboprophylactic procedures were observed. A duplex test was performed on the day before surgery, on the day of discharge, and 30 days after the patients had left the hospital.VTE was detected in 18.1
