Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Nadroparin

patients above 140 kg will receive a dose of 2850 IU nadroparine pre-operatively, anti-Xa factor will be determined 3 days after nadroparin use. After surgery patients receive 5700 IU nadroparin (our standard treatment). Three days after surgery and 4 weeks after surgery anti-Xa factor will be measured again.

Drug: Nadroparin
Patients receive before surgery 3 days 2850 IU nadroparin. anti-Xa levels will be measured. After surgery they receive 5700 IU for 4 weeks as standard care in our hospital. 3 days and 4 weeks after surgery anti-Xa levels will be measured again.
