Abstract

DVT frequently was observed in patients before and after undergoing craniotomies. Patients with decreased performance status should be preoperatively screened for DVT by checking D-dimer levels. Elevated D-dimer levels on POD 7 compared with POD 3 and D-dimer levels greater than 2.65 Î¼g/mL at POD7 suggest the presence of DVT.
