Objective  To summarize the general situation of perioperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) and summarize the perioperative antithrombotic strategies. Methods  Domestic and international literatures and guidelines on antithrombotic therapy were collect and reviewed. Results  VTE was common during the perioperative period. Reasonable assessment of each patient’s condition during the perioperative period, as well as reasonable use of anticoagulant, antiplatelet drugs, and hemostatic agents could reduce the incidence of VTE events during the perioperative period. Conclusions  Clinicians need to properly assess the timing of the usage and discontinuation of antithrombotic drugs, weigh the risk of thrombosis and bleeding, develop a rational and scientific antithrombotic strategy based on the specific circumstances of each patient. Simultaneously, hemostatic agents need to be prescribed perioperatively to reduce the incidence of thromboembolic complications.
