It has been 7 years since the National Institutes of Health Consensus Conference on the prevention of venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism convened in Bethesda, Maryland. The recommendations for prophylaxis were clear but the need for further study in this area was evident. Since then, many articles and sections in textbooks of hematology and medical consultation have been written on the prevention of thromboembolic disease.
Dr. Samuel Goldhaber has used his experience in this field to compile a definitive text on the prevention of venous thromboembolism. This textbook focuses on the causes of thrombosis, the modalities of prophylaxis, major surgeries and high risk groups for thrombosis, and the process of implementing prophylaxis modalities at institutions. Many chapters are written by well-known experts in the field of thrombosis prevention. Each expert has provided a detailed and critical review of the literature with his or her experience on either the cause, assessment, or prevention of this complication. The chapters on prophylactic modalities are complete and discuss all aspects of each agent, including mechanism of action, complications, and dosing.
