Key result
Therapies inhibiting thrombin production spare hemostasis, whereas antagonists of GPIIb/IIIa and thrombin-dependent platelet recruitment inhibit both thrombus formation and hemostatic function.

May favor thrombin production inhibitors to preserve hemostasis; leaves open prospective validation in clinical settings.
Inhibiting thrombin production may provide a safer antithrombotic profile by sparing hemostasis compared to direct platelet or thrombin inhibition.
Laurence A. Harker (1994) conducted a review in Resistant thrombotic processes in atherosclerotic vascular disease. New antithrombotic strategies was evaluated. Therapies inhibiting thrombin production spare hemostasis, whereas antagonists of GPIIb/IIIa and thrombin-dependent platelet recruitment inhibit both thrombus formation and hemostatic function.
