[Intermittent mechanical massage for the prevention of thromboembolism].

Since 1977 we treated more than 7,000 out of 20,000 patients with risk of thromboembolic complications with intermittent pneumatic compression of the legs. Complications due to prophylaxis with heparin can so be avoided. Our statistical analysis makes it reasonable to use this physical method routinely for surgical in-patients. It is as effective as prophylaxis with heparin. The intermittent pneumatic compression is accepted by the patients and is more economical.
