Samama et al. (2011) conducted a review in Venous thromboembolism (VTE). Venous thromboembolism prophylaxis strategies was evaluated. Graduated elastic stockings lack efficacy for VTE prophylaxis in medical patients, while new oral anticoagulants require further evaluation regarding perioperative bridging and use in fragile patients.
