A randomized, double-blind controlled trial of low-dose heparin combined with sulfinpyrazone to prevent deep-vein thrombosis after operation on the hip was carried out. In a group of seventy-three patients after arthroplasty, postoperative thrombosis of the veins of the lower limbs occurred in 51 per cent of the control patients and in 36 per cent of the treated patients. In a fracture group of thirty patients, thrombosis occurred in 75 per cent of the control patients and in 36 per cent of the treated patients. These differences are of borderline statistical significance in the fracture group and are of no statistical significance in the arthroplasty group. However, a 36 per cent incidence of venous thrombosis in the drug-treated patients is too high to justify recommendation of the regimen tested without careful monitoring of patients by tests designed to detect thrombosis. Then, appropriate anticoagulant therapy can be instituted if necessary.

D006493 Heparin A highly acidic mucopolysaccharide formed of equal parts of sulfated D-glucosamine and D-glucuronic acid with sulfaminic bridges. The molecular weight ranges from six to twenty thousand. Heparin occurs in and is obtained from liver, lung, mast cells, etc., of vertebrates. Its function is unknown, but it is used to prevent blood clotting in vivo and vitro, in the form of many different salts.
