THE RELIABILITY OF THROMBOTIC TENDENCY MEASURED BY INTRAVASCULAR WIRES IN THE RAT

The objective was to determine if the amount of thrombus on two adjacent wires in an artery or in a vein was similar, and whether an upstream wire affected thrombosis on the downstream wire. Two 2cm platinum wires were placed at adjoining sites in the abdominal vena cava and a further 2 in the abdom...

Description
Summary:The objective was to determine if the amount of thrombus on two adjacent wires in an artery or in a vein was similar, and whether an upstream wire affected thrombosis on the downstream wire. Two 2cm platinum wires were placed at adjoining sites in the abdominal vena cava and a further 2 in the abdominal aorta in 26 male and 24 female rats. In the artery, mean thrombus weight on the aortic downstream wire, set where the vessel is narrow, was significantly (p
