Prevention of venous thrombosis after electrophysiology procedures: a survey of national practice
Abstract
PurposeFemoral venous access is required for most electrophysiology procedures. Limited data are available regarding post-procedure venous thromboembolism (VTE), specifically deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Potential preventative strategies are unclear.
