Abstract
Anticoagulant polysaccharides have been of interest to the medical profession since discovery of heparin by McLean in 1916 [1]. Since that time considerable research has been directed at improving anticoagulant and antithrombotic properties of polysaccharides. Other compounds with structures similar to heparin have been studied as heparin substitutes. This chapter will discuss polysaccharides, both natural and synthetic, which have action on the hemostatic system.
