Pulmonary Embolism Clinical Trial
— TWISTEROfficial title:
Two Weeks of Low Molecular Weight Heparin for Distal Vein Thrombosis (TWISTER)
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a limited duration of treatment (two weeks of low molecular weight treatment) is a safe and effective treatment for distal deep vein thrombosis of the lower limb.
