Abstract

In arterial thrombosis chronic use of acetylsalicylic acid is frequently prescribed. Venous thromboembolism is most often treated with short courses of heparin, followed by oral anticoagulants. All antithrombotic drugs cause hemorrhagic diathesis. Therefore, consultation with the prescribing authority is necessary before proceeding to invasive procedures.
