Medizinische Universitätsklinik Heidelberg, Bundesrepublik Deutschland.

The effect of prostaglandin E1 on thrombus formation and haemostasis was investigated in a standardized experimental model in 20 rabbits. Arterial thrombus formation was reduced significantly by 70% and venous thrombosis by 68% in comparison with the controls. Collagen- and ADP-induced platelet aggregation was also inhibited significantly. Additionally, the time lag until onset of collagen-induced aggregation was significantly prolonged. Platelet count however, and plasma coagulation time showed no change. The data demonstrate a clear inhibition of arterial and venous thrombus formation, suggesting a powerful antithrombotic activity of prostaglandin E1. The effect may be explained by an influence on platelet function. The data further indicate that a full antithrombotic effect is achieved during prostaglandin E1 infusion.

D010974 Platelet Aggregation The attachment of PLATELETS to one another. This clumping together can be induced by a number of agents (e.g., THROMBIN; COLLAGEN) and is part of the mechanism leading to the formation of a THROMBUS. Aggregation, Platelet
