[Home treatment of venous thrombosis. "For and against"].
The ambulatory treatment of venous thromboses is made possible since the avenement of the low molecular weight heparins, which ensures an efficacy and a safety, comparable with the infractioned heparins, with less side effects and hemorrhagic complications. The simplicity of the therapeutic diagram with the low molecular weight heparin, the biological monitoring less astringent as well as the reduction of the cost of the treatment constitute solid arguments in favour of this therapeutic modality. The essential condition for such attitude remains the respect of the indications and of counter indications.
