title: [Anticoagulation after vascular surgery interventions].
abstract: Questionnaires regarding postoperative antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy were answered by personal interviews with 35 German vascular surgeons. A 3/4 majority follow the recommendations of literature by anticoagulation after embolectomy in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation. Antiplatelet therapy is common in patients after thrombendarteriectomy and justified by improving the natural history of atherosclerotic disease. Considerable differences exist in postoperative therapy following peripheral bypass surgery. Controlled clinical trials are rare and present contradicting results. Prospective randomized multicenter studies are necessary.
