A Comparison of Subcutaneous Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin with Warfarin Sodium for Prophylaxis Against Deep-Vein Thrombosis After Hip or Knee Implantation

Does supervised exercise after deep venous thrombosis improve recanalization of occluded vein segments? A randomized study

“…The introduction of out of hospital treatment with LMWH for selected patients without other severe diseases has proven that early ambulation to be isma 10 safe. Several studies have reported such treatment as safe, feasible, practicable and cost-effective and with the same outcome as in-hospital treatment [20][21][22][23][24][25]. Only few studies of more active exercise as a part of the treatment of DVT have been published.…”

Prevention of Venous Thromboembolism in Surgical Patients

“…1 Six randomized venography-based trials have directly compared LMWH with vitamin K antagonists in the prevention of VTE in patients undergoing total knee replacement. 40 After pooling, the observed rates of DVT were 48.2% in patients receiving vitamin K antagonists and 33.3% in patients receiving LMWH. The proximal DVT rates in the vitamin K antagonists and LMWH groups were 10.4% and 7.1%, respectively.…”

A prospective randomized study on the use of nadroparin calcium in the prophylaxis of thromboembolism in Korean patients undergoing elective total hip replacement

“…In our study the ratio of proximal to calf DVT in the placebo group was 1 : 1.6. By contrast, in European and North American studies the ratio was 1 : 4 in patients receiving LMWH prophylaxis [3,7].…”

“…This prompted us to study the efficacy of a LMWH in preventing DVT in Korean patients undergoing elective total hip replacement. Previous studies have shown LMWH to be effective in preventing DVT and, in particular, proximal deep vein thrombosis in such patients [3,6,7,10]. …”
