Brief Summary
Deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) is a common but under-diagnosed medical condition that occurs when a thrombus forms in one of the large veins, usually in the lower limbs, leading to either partial or compl...
Detailed Description
The aim of this study is to demonstrate the therapeutic non-inferiority of bemiparin sodium (LMWH) versus enoxaparin sodium (LMWH) during a 7±2 days treatment period and a follow up of 11 weeks observ...
