Key result
Among patients undergoing bariatric surgery, 23.3% exhibited hypercoagulability on thromboelastography at baseline, with fibrinogen levels significantly increasing by postoperative day 2 (P<0.001).

May support TEG for perioperative thrombosis monitoring in bariatric surgery; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Observational (n=60)
A considerable proportion of bariatric surgery patients exhibit hypercoagulability on TEG, suggesting its potential utility for perioperative monitoring of thrombosis risk.
Kupčinskienė et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Obesity (n=60). Bariatric surgery vs. Baseline was evaluated on Hypercoagulability prior to surgery on TEG (clot strength ≥11 dynes/cm² or maximum amplitude ≥68 mm). Among patients undergoing bariatric surgery, 23.3% exhibited hypercoagulability on thromboelastography at baseline, with fibrinogen levels significantly increasing by postoperative day 2 (P<0.001).
