In a randomized study the efficiency of the low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) Fragmin and unfractionated heparin Calciparin in preventing thromboembolic disease was examined. Ninety patients undergoing a herniotomy participated in the study. The LMWH also showed good efficiency in a laboratory test of anti-factor Xa-activity. There were no complications.
