Summary
Thromboembolism is an important perioperative complication in major thoracic surgery, even
though current guidelines have recommended postoperative administration of heparin or LMWH
for thromboprophylaxis for those high-risk patients, there are still many cases of
thromboembolism. Therefore, as the guideline itself writes, the investigators believe the
rational of dose and timing of heparin in thoracic surgery are still not well established.
Therefore, the investigators aimed to conduct this randomized controlled study to explore the
safety and efficacy of preoperative Administration of Heparin as Thromboprophylaxis in Major
Thoracic Surgery.
