Abstract:
Vasospastic reactions (ergotism), a complication in postoperative prophylaxis against thrombo-embolism, using heparin-dihydroergotamine, are assessed in this paper on the basis of the authors' own observations and following evaluation of 19 literature references. The authors feel that the above combination of active substances may be recommended also for the future in routine prophylactic medication to prevent thrombo-embolism.
