ATIII may attenuate thrombin activity after arterial injury in models; leaves open any clinical advantage over heparin pending human data.
Does antithrombin III decrease thrombin enzymatic activity on injured rabbit aorta compared to heparin?
In a rabbit aorta injury model, antithrombin III decreased thrombin activity on injured vessels, suggesting it may be preferable to heparin for arterial injury.
Nydahl et al. (2008) studied this question.
