Platelet volume indices and von Willebrand factor levels in blood exposed to polymer- or heparin-coated membrane oxygenators

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that P-LCR is a good index for platelet activation in blood-circulating ECC and that VWFA and VWFQ are significantly attenuated in blood-circulating ECC with ACP-coated membranes, indicating the advantage of IHP coating regarding platelet activation.PMID:38326931 | DOI:10.1177/03913988231223360
