The present study assessed the time course of primaryhemostasis after the cessation of anti-platelet agents.
2
Efficacy was defined in terms of primaryhemostasis, prevention of rebleeding, and need for urgent surgery.
3
Hemostasis occurring within 15 min after suture closure with or without manual compression was defined as primaryhemostasis.
4
Platelets play a crucial role in the physiology of primaryhemostasis and pathophysiological processes such as arterial thrombosis.
5
Background: Platelet inhibition is a major strategy to prevent arterial thrombosis, but it is frequently associated with increased bleeding because of impaired primaryhemostasis.
