Comparison of the efficacy of apixaban monotherapy and its combination with fraxiparin in patients with acute deep vein thrombosis of the lower limbs complicated by pulmonary embolism with low risk of death

We compared the efficacy of apixaban monotherapy and apixaban combined with fraxiparin in patients with deep vein thrombosis of the lower limbs complicated by pulmonary embolism with low risk of death. We found that recanalisation of the lower limb veins and the vessels of the pulmonary circuit is more pronounced in patients treated with apixaban in combination with fraxiparin.
