Venous thromboembolic disease is among the most serious diseases of the circulatory system with an ever-increasing incidence.Treatment has been focused for a long time on the thromboembolic event itself, with the duration of anticoagulant administrationbeing relatively accurately limited. A significant risk of recurrent thromboembolism in a longer time interval has long beenneglected, as has been the pharmacological prevention of this recurrence. The SURVET clinical trial with glycosaminoglycans resultedin a different perspective on this new topic in an era of otherwise predominant use of (novel) direct anticoagulants (NOACs).
