Does not yet alter clinical antithrombotic choices; hypothesis-generating for differential thrombus modulation in arterial injury.
In a rat model of arterial thrombosis, thrombin plays a key role in initiating thrombus formation, with direct thrombin inhibition effectively reducing both platelet and fibrin deposition.
Butler et al. (1992) studied Arterial thrombosis. Platelet inhibitors and thrombin inhibitors was evaluated on Platelet and fibrin(ogen) deposition. In a rat model of arterial thrombosis, direct thrombin inhibition reduced both platelet and fibrin deposition, whereas platelet inhibitors primarily reduced platelet deposition without affecting fibrin.
