"Fondaparinux is at least as good as unfractionated heparin for the treatment of pulmonary embolism, according to the results of a randomized, open-label trial published in the Oct. 30 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. The editorialist suggests the need for comparison to low-molecular-weight heparin, which is also as good as unfractionated heparin."
