Do you temporarily hold ESAs for your patients with kidney disease who have an upcoming surgical procedure with the goal of reducing the risk for DVTs?

I do not routinely recommend this. I think the risk is very small given modern use of ESAs and thromboprophylaxis.

I don't. I believe the risk of inducing anemia is higher than the risk of DVTs.

I do not hold ESA's in my patients, as hospitals are very proactive in preventing DVT's from occurring in their hospitalized patients.
