Title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Multi-center Comparison of the Efficacy and Safety of Certoparin (3000 U Anti-Xa o.d.) With Unfractionated Heparin (5000 IU t.i.d.) in the Prophylaxis of Thromboembolic Events in Acutely Ill Medical Patients
Brief Summary: This study is designed to provide efficacy and safety data for certoparin in the prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism in immobilized, acutely ill medical patients.
