Abstract
This study demonstrates a trend toward decreased symptomatic VTE after Caprini RAM implementation, as demonstrated among high-risk cancer patients. The absence of bleeding complications and high provider and patient adherence to VTE RAM support the safety and feasibility of a VTE prevention protocol in thoracic surgery patients.
