Abstract
TKR surgery is more thrombogenic than THR surgery. In THR patients TG was efficiently inhibited by 30-day thromboprophylaxis, whereas, in TKR patients treated for 15-days TG was not effectively inhibited. Individual variability of the response to enoxaparin was observed in both groups revealing some form of biological resistance to enoxaparin. TG assay may represent the breakthrough step to efficient antithrombotic strategy in clinical settings with high thrombotic risk.
