TL;DR: The use of LMWH for VTE prevention in cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery may be recommended as for laparotomy and mechanical methods are not recommended as monotherapy except when pharmacological methods are contraindicated.

Value of the ventilation/perfusion scan in acute pulmonary embolism. Results of the prospective investigation of pulmonary embolism diagnosis (PIOPED).
TL;DR: Follow-up and angiography together suggest pulmonary embolism occurred among 12% of patients with low-probability scans, and clinical assessment combined with the ventilation/perfusion scan established the diagnosis or exclusion of pulmonary emblism only for a minority of patients--those with clear and concordant clinical and ventilation-perfusions scan findings.

Reduction in fatal pulmonary embolism and venous thrombosis by perioperative administration of subcutaneous heparin. Overview of results of randomized trials in general, orthopedic, and urologic surgery.
TL;DR: Most deep-vein thromboses are subclinical and resolve completely when mobility is restored, although some do produce permanent valvular damage and chronic venous insufficiency, and a few, however, may travel to the lungs and, depending on how much of the pulmonary circulation is.

TL;DR: Enoxaparin prophylaxis for four weeks after surgery for abdominal or pelvic cancer is safe and significantly reduces the incidence of venographically demonstrated thrombosis, as compared with enoxapin prophyllaxis for one week.
