[Low molecular weight heparins versus traditional heparins in thromboembolic diseases] Vitoria-Gasteiz: Basque Office for Health Technology Assessment (OSTEBA). D-02-08. 2003 Authors' objectives <p>This review aims to determine the safety and efficiency of low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) in comparison with non-fractionated heparins (NFH) in the treatment and preparation of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary thromboembolism.</p>
Authors' conclusions According to the scientific evidence, the efficiency and safety of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) is at least similar or greater both in prophylaxis and in the treatment of thromboembolic diseases. More long-term surveys are required to assess the phlebitic complications in both treatments.
