Abstract:IntroductionThe incidence of postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) and wound complications is greater after sarcoma resection. We sought to identify differences in postoperative VTE and bleeding complications with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) versus low‐molecular‐weight heparin (LMWH) following resection of lower extremity primary bone or soft tissue sarcoma.MethodsWe retrospectively identified 2083 patients from the PearlDiver database who underwent resection of primary bone or soft tissue sarcoma … Show more
