GRACE - GRAduated Compression stocking as an adjunct to Extended duration pharmacological thromboprophylaxis for venous thromboembolism prevention

We have just opened a new study to determine the need for stockings to prevent blood clots in patients having surgery requiring blood thinning medication post hospital discharge.

Patients who are scheduled to undergo a procedure in hospital that puts them at higher risk of developing VTE will be approached prior to their procedure.

If the patient agrees to taking part, following the signature of a consent form, they will be allocated to one of 2 arms.
