The authors review two homogenous groups of patients subjected to surgical embolectomy, one group receiving standard anticoagulant therapy before and after surgery, and the other not receiving that treatment regularly or at all. The results obtained in the two groups indicate that anticoagulant therapy plays a role of no mean order in the prevention of postoperative relapses.
