The patients who were allocated to undergo enoxaparin therapy had a significantly greater improvement in their quantitative venographic score, a significantly lower recurrence rate of symptomatic venous thromboembolism, and a significantly lower incidence of bleeding than patients who underwent treatment with coumarin. LMWH can be used on an outpatient basis as a safer and more effective alternative to classical oral anticoagulant therapy for the secondary prophylaxis of selected patients with DVT.

Patients who undergo surgical treatment of femoral pseudoaneurysm post-cardiac catheterization experience a high postoperative morbidity and hospital stay. Factors such as female gender, age over 70 years and treatment with anticoagulants or antiplatelets increase the postoperative morbidity. A seasonal influence was appreciated, with a higher frequency during the summer period.
