[Treatment of distal venous thrombosis of the lower extremity with "moderated" doses of heparin].
The effectiveness of a therapeutic protocol, using 15,000 to 22,500 IU/day of heparin by subcutaneous injection, to treat the distal postoperative vein thrombosis on the lower limb, was evaluated. The study was made on 427 patients, which were analyzed by the Fibrinogen I125 marked accumulation test, to give an early diagnostic and follow-up of their thrombosis (thrombus lysis, stabilization or expansion). Treatment made, showed its efficacy preventing from proximal expansion, as well as avoiding pulmonary embolism and postphlebitic syndrome. Its cost is lower than other therapeutic option's costs, and it doesn't extend the hospital stay.
