Summary

The intravenous administration of heparin or SP 54 produced statistically significant reductions in the weights of experimentally induced jugular thrombi, which had been allowed to grow for 48, 72, or 120 hrs before treatment. The results observed in the smaller saphenous veins were less striking.
