UPDATES:CLOTS RISK WITH VEIN OPERATION

People who have operations to strip their varicose veins are at risk from suffering venous thromboembolism (vein blockage by a clot) after surgery, Swiss doctors warn.


Their suspicions are based on a study of 19,161 patients who were operated on at their clinic in Geneva. Until their views are tested in a proper study, they urge doctors to give their patients preventative medications.
