The report behind the claim
The authors reported reduced obstructive clot-related findings and improved limb-function observations in the model. The experiment does not establish management of human vascular surgery or postoperative thrombosis.

The experiment in view
The study used male rats with a clamped, divided and rejoined abdominal aorta. Its principal measures were thrombus formation, limb function and muscle strength. The authors reported reduced obstructive clot-related findings and improved limb-function observations in the model.
Reading the result closely
A surgically created vascular join produces a distinctive injury and flow problem. Its clot and limb-function outcomes should not be silently generalized to spontaneous venous thrombosis. A later clinical question would need standard surgical care as a comparator and patient-relevant safety outcomes.
The boundary of the finding
The experiment does not establish management of human vascular surgery or postoperative thrombosis.

Here, the measured endpoint was thrombus formation, limb function and muscle strength. Those outcomes belong to separate experiments; one is not a replication or a human confirmation of the other.
