Recurrent Venous Thrombosis and Heparin Therapy: An Evaluation of the Importance of Early Activated Partial Thromboplastin Times
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The presence of an association between early subtherapeutic activated partial thromboplastin times (aPTTs) and recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains controversial.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the relation between early subtherapeutic aPTTs and recurrent VTE in patients who were treated with intravenous (i.v.) unfractionated heparin (UFH).
