Abstract
1. (1) The experience with anticoagulants in 66 patients as compared with 198 untreated during one year at a large municipal hospital has been presented. 2. (2) Anticoagulants did not improve the survival rate in this series. 3. (3) There was but one major hemorrhagic complication, i.e., hemopericardium without myocardial rupture, related to the use of these drugs, and this complication was not contributory to death. We observed three cases of cardiac rupture in patients who did not receive anticoagulants. 4. (4) The incidence of minor hemorrhagic complications, i.e., hematuria, in the treated group was of the same order as that previously reported by others.
