The overall composition of venous thrombi difered significantly from arterial thrombi. RBCs and fibrin fibers were the major components of venous thrombi, comprising on average 63% and 35% of...
20 mar 2020 · To answer the question whether composition and distribution of the various thrombus components depend on location and time of formation, we compared the head of venous thrombi, representing...
• Thrombus structure and composition relates to formation, embolization, and thrombus resolution. • Morphology of thrombi is studied using intravital imaging or microscopy following thrombectomy. • Content of thrombus components and structural forms varies substantially with clinical features.
