Population
Segments of deendothelialized rabbit aorta perfused at arterial shear rates with human blood
Comparison
10 nM prostacyclin (PGI2) vs Blood without prostacyclin (implied control)

Supports PGI2 regulatory role in platelet deposition; animal findings leave open human vascular translation.
Does prostacyclin (PGI2) inhibit platelet adhesion and thrombus formation on subendothelium?
Prostacyclin (PGI2) inhibits platelet adhesion and thrombus formation on vascular subendothelium, suggesting a regulatory role in platelet deposition on vascular surfaces.
Weiss et al. (1979) studied this question.
