High Incidence of Asymptomatic Pulmonary Embolism Detected on Early Postoperative CT After Thoracoscopic Esophagectomy for Esophageal Cancer: A Prospective Observational Study
Routine POD 3 CT revealed a high incidence of asymptomatic PE following thoracoscopic esophagectomy. Given the limited predictive utility of conventional markers, early postoperative imaging or tailored prophylactic anticoagulation should be considered to mitigate the thromboembolic risk.
