Abstract 32. Increased Incidence of Symptomatic Deep Venous Thrombosis Following Lower Extremity Flap Harvest for Abdominal and Perineal Reconstruction: A Case for Extended Surveillance

This study aims to identify the incidence of VTE in patients undergoing harvest of lower extremity flaps and define factors which could modify prophylaxis guidelines
