[Long-term anticoagulation of the post-thrombotic syndrome].
Observations of the course in 20 patients who underwent a long-term anticoagulation due to postthrombotic syndromes resulted in a clinical improvement according to the degrees of severity of the GDR section phlebology as well as in an increase of the plethysmographically measurable venous regurgitation. Thus the late sequelae of the postthrombotic syndrome may possibly reduced by long-term anticoagulation. In one third of the patients despite the anticoagulant therapy a decreased antithrombin-III-value was found.
