Abstract
Patients treated with prothrombin complex concentrates (PCCs) have frequently been found to develop arterial thrombosis, venous thromboembolism or disseminated intravascular coagulation (Kasper 1975). Consequently, PCCs must be regarded as potentially thrombogenic substances (Elodi 1977). Within the framework of studies of a new PCC (Klöcking et al. 1984), the influence of heparin, pentosan polysulphate and synthetic thrombin inhibitors on the thrombogenicity of PCCs was examined. Furthermore, the effect of heparin, pentosan polysulphate or aprotinin was studied on the acute toxicity of PCC and on that observed after 7 days.
