Abstract

In the Prevention of Venous Thromboembolism Following Radical Prostatectomy (PREVENTER) randomized trial, pharmacologic prophylaxis did not reduce the rate of symptomatic (relative risk [RR] 0.40 [95% confidence interval {CI} 0.08–2.03], p = 0.267) or overall (RR 0.97 [95% CI 0.25–3.81], p = 0.967) venous thromboembolism significantly. There was no increase in adverse events including symptomatic lymphoceles or bleeding.
