Thrombosis in β-thalassemia patients is the result of several risk factors, a combination of which is often the cause of clinical thromboembolism. Splenectomy, anemia, and iron overload are increasingly important risk factors for hypercoagulability in β-thalassemia. An individualized approach is highly indicated to create an optimal strategy for preventing occurrence of this complication through adequate post-operative monitoring via Doppler ultrasound and blood investigations, including D-dimer and PT tests.
