摘要

Vascular injury triggers adhesion and aggregation of platelets (primary hemostasis) and coagulation-dependent fibrin formation (secondary hemostasis). These processes are essential for hemostasis but may also lead to occlusion of diseased vessels by thrombus formation and potentially fatal embolization. Therefore, coagulation as well as platelet inhibitors are routinely used in the clinic to treat or prevent thrombotic disease states such as myocardial infarction or stroke
