FRAGMENTO

Si bien se reconoce la existencia de enfermedades y complicaciones prevenibles, la experiencia mundial demuestra que sus tasas no han disminuido significativamente durante años. Específicamente me refiero a la enfermedad tromboembólica venosa y sus complicaciones periféricas y centrales, como la tromboembolia pulmonar.
