[Current aspects of the treatment of deep venous thromboses by heparin (author's transl)].
The use of heparin by continuous infusion from a electric pump gives very good immediate results in the treatment of venous thromboses. In 58 patients, there was a constant improvement in clinical signs and recurrence of the venous thrombosis was exceptional (2%), pulmonary embolism rare (3.5%) and well tolerated. Constant flow and the surveillance of treatment led to the method ensuring stable blood heparin levels. Mid-term results (8 months) in 43 patients appeared to be less favourable, the prevalence of venous sequelae reaching 50% for iliac phlebitis, 28% for sural phlebitis. The respective advantages and disadvantages of heparin and fibrinolytic agents are discussed.
