Treatments
Studied treatment |
home treatment with single sub- cutaneous injection of LMWH (tinzaparin sodium) in a weight adjusted dose (175
anti Xa IU/Kg) daily for 6 months

Control treatment |
Intravenous bolus of 5000IU UFH followed by intrvenous infusion of UFH for 5-7 days. APTT
was measured after 4 hours of the initiation of heparin administration and was repeated 6 hours thereafter
to reach the therapeutic range (ratio: 1.5-2.5). Oral an
