P106 PREOPERATIVE HYPERCOAGULABLE THROMBOELASTOGRAPHY PROFILES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH POST-OPERATIVE VENOUS THROMBOEMBOLISM IN INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE PATIENTS

We previously reported our pilot experience using thromboelastography (TEG) to assess hypercoagulability in 19 inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) surgical patients. We now report our expanded experience in 55 patients. Our hypothesis is that a hypercoagulable TEG (HyperTEG) profile is associated with post-operative venous thromboembolism (VTE) after surgery for IBD.
