Rethrombosis analysed in reference to anticoagulant therapy.
Of 1,103 re-examinations on femoro-popliteal operations, 485 in reference to anticoagulant therapy could be more closely analyzed. A very significant difference was found on relapse occlusions with or without Coumadin in relation to the disease stage. A significant difference could not be proven between the frequency of occlusion and the type of operation with or without Coumadin. After correction of chronic occlusions the indication for an anticoagulant therapy is poor distal outflow and stage III or IV disease.
