  Purpose

The study's hypothesis is that there are some patients who come for surgery who have asymptomatic clots in their lower extremities upon their arrival to the hospital for their surgical admission. We will be performing duplex studies of the subjects' legs before their surgery to determine how often clots are present. We will also perform duplex scans of the legs after the subjects' surgeries to determine what factors (surgical, anesthetic, co-morbidities)are correlated with the development of DVTs.


Condition Intervention
Perioperative DVTs
 Procedure: Duplex scan of lower extremities

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Screening

Further study details as provided by University of Chicago:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • The incidence of preoperative DVTs [ Time Frame: Day of surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Incidence of post-operative DVTs [ Time Frame: Within 48 hours of surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Risk factors associated with the development of perioperative DVTs [ Time Frame: Within 180 days of surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Distribution and laterality [ Time Frame: Within 180 days of surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Level and laterality of clots that develop and association of these with risk factors

  • Risks associated with perioperative DVTs [ Time Frame: Within 180 days of surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Association of clinical pulmonary emboli and/or cardiac arrests, cerebral vascular events, or other causes of death or significant morbidities (e.g., post-op pneumonias or other infections)perioperatively with DVTs
