Thrombodynamic properties of arterial and venous blood in ischemic patients in preoperative and early postoperative periods after coronary artery bypass grafting

Abstract

In the preoperative period ischemic patients show a significant increase in thrombodynamic properties of fibrin clots. It is more than at a half of patients in the presurgical period as in an arterial, and venus blood the spontaneous growth of a clot comes to light that is practically not observed at healthy people. In the early postoperative period ischemic patients demonstrate a general sharp decrease in thrombodynamic properties of fibrin clots, but in arterial blood, as opposed to venous blood, such properties sharply grow. Based on the data obtained it may be concluded that in ischemic patients venous blood levels cannot be used as a judgement for arterial blood fibrin clot properties.
