Efficacy of Low Molecular Weight Heparin in Superficial Vein Thrombosis

Summary

The aim of the study is to establish whether treatment of superficial vein thrombosis (SVT) with low-molecular-weight heparin in preventive or therapeutic doses prevents disease progression and thromboembolic events (deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism), whether efficacy of low-molecular-weight heparin differs with regard to the dosage used (prevention, treatment), and to recognize groups of patients in which treatment with heparin is most efficient, as well as to determine factors that influence the efficacy of SVT treatment with heparin.
