title: Elements of a consensus on the therapeutic approach to thromboembolic disease.
abstract: A committee of twenty-nine international experts met at Windsor, England, during November 1991. Their purpose was to make recommendations on the current practice of prophylaxis against venous thromboembolic disease. This article is intended to provide a synopsis of some of the problems addressed at the meeting and the solutions proposed. It does not in any way replace the final consensus statement recently published.
