Popis: Thirty patients presenting with phlebographically confirmed deep venous thrombosis were treated with a very low molecular weight heparin fragment (CY 222) in an open and prospective phase-2 trial. A uniform dosage of 750 IC anti-factor Xa units/kg/day was administered subcutaneously for 10 days or more to patients whose thromboses were categorized as postsurgical (17 cases) or medical (13 cases). The clinical symptoms of venous thrombosis diminished in 93% of the patients overall. The extent of vascular clearing was assessed by an original scoring system which compared the pre- and posttreatment phlebo-graphies. The effect of treatment was globally rated ‘very good’ (more than 75 % lysis) in 37% of the patients, ‘good’ (about 50% lysis) in 40% and ‘poor’ (0–25% lysis) in 17%; the phle-bographic thrombosis worsened in 6.6%. Little change occurred in laboratory tests exploring thrombolysis, but a strong anti-factor Xa activity was detected.
