Reflections on Spontaneous Venous Thrombosis and Thromboembolic Disease in the Light of 849 Consecutive Pulmonary Operations

There is no proof that currently held views on the pathogenesis of spontaneous venous thrombosis are accurate. In fact, little has been added to the Virchow postulates of 1846.

In our study of 849 consecutive pulmonary operations we expected to find a greater incidence of venous thrombosis and throm boembolic disease than has been observed in other types of surgery. This was anticipated because of the relatively long period of required bed rest and other factors leading to venous stasis. However, the incidence of venous thrombosis in this series of pulmonary operations was only 0.35 per cent. This is no greater than in other forms of surgery, and much less than in some.
