Abstract

During the coronavirus pandemic, there has been much discussion worldwide about the prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in hospitalized patients or not. After the pandemic is over or minimized, we must keep this in mind as one of the most critical tasks to be done, during and after hospitalization, regardless of the case.
