The thrombus then travels downstream to other blood vessels, where the blood clot may partially or completely block blood flow.
32.
Platelets play an important role in maintaining hemostasis : they promote thrombus growth, and thus they prevent loss of blood.
33.
Unlike thromboxane synthase inhibitors such as ozagrel, seratrodast does not affect thrombus formation, time to occlusion and bleeding time.
34.
The main risk of cardioversion is systemic embolization of a thrombus ( blood clot ) from the previously fibrillating left atrium.
35.
A venous thrombus may or may not be ischaemic, since veins distribute deoxygenated blood that is less vital for cellular metabolism.
36.
Contact to polyphosphates activates factor XII and initiates fibrin formation by the intrinsic pathway of coagulation with critical importance for thrombus formation.
37.
If the thrombus is near to the sapheno-femoral junction there will be a high risk of a pulmonary embolism occurring.
38.
Pump thrombus is dreaded complication of CF LVAD technology that can require repeat surgery to replace the pump or lead to death.
39.
Clopidogrel ( Plavix ) is used to try to prevent left atrial thrombus formation in cats with HCM and a large left atrium.
40.
As it turns out, the hinge area is the most critical part of bileaflets and is where the thrombus formation usually prevails.
