Abstract
TSAs performed at higher altitudes (>4000 feet) have a higher rate of acute postoperative PEs in the first 30 days and 90 days postoperatively when compared to matched patients receiving the same surgery at a lower altitude (<100 feet). TSA patients at high altitude should be counseled on these increased risks.
