Perioperative assessment of changes in tissue factor and its inhibitor in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm treated using classical and intravascular methods
Abstract:Objectives:We examined plasma concentrations of essential regulators of coagulation cascade, tissue factor (TF) and tissue factor inhibitor pathway (TFPI) in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) during two types of surgical repair , open (OAR) and endovascular repair (EVAR).
Background:The interplay between TF and TFPI is important for the proper functioning of coagulation cascade. Although abnormal coagulation is known to contribute to the formation of AAA, little is known about the prognostic value … Show more
