Preventing blood clots after chest surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a simple scoring system (Padua score) predicts blood clots after chest surgery. It may help find patients who need extra protection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had your Padua score checked before surgery
- You stayed in the hospital for more than 3 days
- You did not have a blood clot before surgery
- You do not have a bleeding disorder or take blood thinners
- You had a D-dimer test after surgery

This study tests whether a simple score (Modified Caprini) and a blood test (D-dimer) can help predict and prevent blood clots in the legs after heart or lung surgery. If you are having cardiothoracic surgery and will be in the hospital for a few days, you may be able to join.
This trial tests two ways to prevent blood clots (deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism) after colorectal cancer surgery. The study aims to find out if a new method is as good as the standard one, which could help reduce the risk of these serious complications.
This study looks at why some people develop blood clots after lung cancer surgery. By tracking your recovery for 30 days, researchers hope to find better ways to predict and prevent clots in the future.
This study looks at how well a clot-risk score (Caprini score) relates to blood clot checks and outcomes after varicose vein surgery. You may be asked to have an ultrasound scan a few weeks after your operation and be followed for about 4 weeks.
This study follows adults who may have a blood clot in the lung (pulmonary embolism) or leg (deep vein thrombosis), or who were found to have a clot by chance. It aims to improve how doctors diagnose, manage, and estimate risk, which may lead to better, more tailored care for you.
This study follows patients who have had a blood clot in their leg or lung to learn more about their health over time. It helps doctors understand how to better care for people with blood clots.
