This study tests if wearing compression stockings after surgery can help prevent blood clots in people who already need to take blood thinners for an extended period. The stockings are used in addition to the blood thinners.

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 tests a computerized tool that helps doctors decide who needs prevention medicines to lower the risk of blood clots after a hospital stay. It may help reduce preventable clotting risk for people who are less mobile and have added risk factors.
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 looks at how a 60-minute walking test affects blood clotting in people who have had a provoked blood clot (from a known cause like surgery or birth control) compared to similar people who have never had a clot. It helps understand how the body's clotting system works after such a clot.
This study looks at a prevention plan to reduce the risk of hospital-acquired blood clots. It may help people who are expected to stay in the hospital for several days but do not already have a clot.
