Introduction Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is associated with hypofibrinolysis. Its
mechanisms are poorly understood. We investigated plasminogen-fibrin interaction and its
association with fibrinolytic capacity and protein oxidation/carbonylation in VTE patients.
Materials and methods Plasma-purified plasminogen conversion to plasmin and surface
plasmon resonance employed for plasminogen-fibrin interactions were individually
evaluated in all healthy controls and non-anticoagulated patients following VTE, 10–23 …
