Blood clot prevention before versus after liver surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two approaches to preventing blood clots around the time of liver surgery. If you’re having planned liver surgery, it may help doctors choose the safest timing and method for clot prevention.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether a medication called apixaban (a blood thinner) can safely prevent blood clots after abdominal or pelvic surgery. It is for people who have a moderate risk of clots and bleeding, and who are not taking other blood thinners.
This study compares two approaches to preventing blood clots around the time of pancreatic surgery. It may help lower the risk of dangerous clotting events after surgery, especially for people who are high risk.
This study looks at how cancer and surgery affect blood clotting. It may help doctors understand and prevent blood clots in patients having surgery for certain cancers.
This trial tests a program to help people who had cancer surgery get medicine to prevent dangerous blood clots. If you had belly or pelvic cancer surgery and are not on blood thinners, you may be able to join.
This trial studies the safety of managing blood thinners (like apixaban or warfarin) around the time of cancer surgery or procedures. It aims to help doctors understand how to best handle these medications to reduce risks.
This trial tests whether a longer course of blood-thinning injections after major liver surgery reduces the risk of blood clots. It may help people recovering from liver cancer surgery.
