The place of heparins in the treatment of venous thromboembolism

Andrzej Wojtak1, Tomasz Zubilewicz1
Acta Angiologica 2019;25(1):35-40.

Abstract

Venous thromboembolism, in the form of lower limb deep vein thrombosis and its most dangerous complication
that is a pulmonary embolism, is a common disease with an increasing incidence associated with the ageing
population. The scheme of VTE treatment underwent changes when a new drug group — directly and selectively
acting oral anticoagulants — was introduced. However, the scope of VTE therapy with parenterally administered
low-molecular-weight heparins was wide, i.e., they produced vast progress in the disease’s treatment in the 1980s.
