The antithrombotic activity of low-molecular-weight heparin calcium (LMWH-Ca) was studied in venous and arterial thrombosis models, arterial thrombosis model in rats, arterio-venous shunt model and venous thrombosis model in rabbits. The data showed that LMWH-Ca reduced thrombus formation in a dose-dependent manner. It suggests that LMWH-Ca is a potent antithrombotic agent for venous thrombosis, and also may be a beneficial therapeutic agent in arterial thrombosis.
