Study identifies risk factors for deadly blood clots after lung cancer surgery

In patients who undergo pulmonary resection for lung cancer, a major potential postoperative complication is venous thromboembolism (VTE) - a condition that develops when a blood clot forms in a vein - which can lead to part of the clot breaking off and lodging in the lung, resulting in a pulmonary embolism (PE).
