TI  - Use of low molecular weight heparin in the treatment of venous thrombosis in a 
      patient with anti-thrombin III deficiency: a case report.
PG  - 120-2
AB  - This paper describes the use of a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in the 
      treatment of a thrombotic episode in a patient with anti-thrombin III deficiency. 
      Subcutaneous Fraxiparine, a low molecular weight heparin, was successfully used 
      in the initial treatment of a second thrombotic episode in this patient with good 
      results--no clot extension and an almost complete resolution of pulmonary emboli. 
      This case demonstrates the advantages of using LMWH over conventional 
      unfractionated heparin (UFH) which include ease of administration and the rapid 
      achievement of optimal anticoagulation in conjunction with a diminished need for 
      laboratory monitoring.
