Platelet turnover studies associated with left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. 1979

R Rodvien, and R R Mitchell, and K B Dalal, and J Bosak, and J Baleix, and P Litwak, and J D Hill

Calves given LVADs have been studied to determine changes in platelet turnover induced by the device and modified by time and anticoagulants. Passivation with time occurs but is surprisingly incomplete even one month later and despite coumadin, aspirin and dipyridamole. Without these drugs, enhanced platelet turnover and local thrombus formation on the device is exaggerated. Sequential platelet turnover studies may be useful to quantitate, monitor and/or predict thromboembolic events.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007204 Indium A metallic element, atomic number 49, atomic weight 114.818, symbol In. It is named from its blue line in the spectrum.
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
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
