[Principles of drug prevention of thrombosis].
The most important reasons of venous thrombosis are injuries of the vessel wall, hypocirculation (stasis) and hypercoagulability of the blood (Virchow-Trias). The prophylaxis of thrombosis is based on the inhibition of the plasmatic coagulation system and on the improvement of circulation. In general surgery the onset of venous thrombosis can be reduced from 28% to about 9% by low-dose heparin prophylaxis.
