Aspirin compliance was notably greater than pump compliance. In this study, we found that pump compliance was not associated with lower VTE risk. In fact, no increased risk was recognized in patients with an average pump usage of >50%. Further study is warranted to define the duration of pump use required for clinical significance. The recommended use of compression pumps should continue to be examined.
