Abstract

Deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism are rare complications after arthroscopic knee procedures. Most of the cases of thromboembolic complications reported to have involved unilateral knee arthroscopic patients; here, we report the cases of patients with bilateral knee arthroscopy. The patients were treated with anticoagulants and thrombolytics and subjected to necessary laboratory monitoring. All the patients recovered well after the treatment and were symptom-free during a 6-month follow-up. The purpose of this article was to increase the awareness of knee arthroscopists of this complication.
