The results of this prospective analysis showed that acute aortic dissection itself activated the hemostatic system even before surgery. After hemostatic therapy, fibrin formation was more impaired than platelet function. In this setting, we proposed that hemostatic therapy should focus on rapid and sufficient supplementation of fibrinogen. Thus, we recommend further increases in fibrinogen concentration to improve coagulopathy in patients with acute aortic dissection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
