Role of Postoperative Anticoagulation in Predicting Digit Replantation and Revascularization Failure: A Propensity-matched Cohort Study

Conclusions Among DRR patients with similar predisposing characteristics for postoperative therapeutic heparin or dextran, the use of therapeutic anticoagulation does not have a protective effect against digit failure. Studies are needed to define the role of postoperative IV anticoagulation in DRR and to justify the risk of its administration.
