hypotension following surgery

Can significant hypotension a few days post op lead to the formation of deep vein thrombosis?

Surgery itself can lead to DVT.  If a person where so hypotensive as to not be able to get out of bed following surgery, the risk would probably be even higher.

I have not heard that connection.  Does the doctor have an opinion on the cause of the DVT?
