[Low molecular weight heparin in vascular surgery patients].
In contrast to general surgery postop. thromboprophylaxis in vascular surgery cannot be standardized because the risk of thrombosis differs considerably among different types of operations. Following peripheral reconstructions prophylaxis of arterial thrombosis will cover all aspects of venous thromboprophylaxis too. Only in operations without any arterial prophylaxis subcutaneous heparin for venous thromboprophylaxis is essential. The therapeutic value of low molecular heparin fraction has not yet been clarified so far.
