Unfractionated heparin is majorly used in deep venous thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with increased postoperative complications. Unfractionated heparin is the preferred treatment for patients at high risk of bleeding complications, owing to its short activity and reversibility and its reversible anticoagulant effect. Additionally, UTH offers various advantages over other types of heparin, owing to its ability to rapidly enter into the blood stream and less reliant to kidney for extraction.
