Abnormalities in blood coagulation, although quite common after traumatic brain injury (TBI),
are of unknown significance. The authors review the clinical and pathophysiological features …

Ischemia/reperfusion injury is often the final and irreversible factor causing flap failure in
microvascular surgery for head and neck defects. This paper begins with a detailed review …

OBJECTIVE: Microvascular free-tissue transfer is essential for functional reconstruction in
head and neck cancer surgery. The risk of free flap failure depends on venous thrombosis …

A multicenter, multinational, blinded, randomized, parallel-group, phase II study was
conducted to investigate the use of recombinant human tissue factor pathway inhibitor …

Flap ischemia is often encountered during pedicled and free tissue transfer. In this study, the
vascular effects of varying doses of lidocaine, papaverine, and a combination of the two …

Exposure of blood to tissue factor (TF) sets off the coagulation cascade. TF is a
transmembrane protein that serves as an essential cofactor for activated coagulation factor …

Vascular thrombosis remains a dreaded complication of any microvascular procedure, be it
composite tissue transfer or replantation of amputated limbs or parts. Despite the …

Background—Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is a physiological antagonist of TF. We
tested whether a brief irrigation with TFPI protein (rTFPI) or TFPI gene transfer into injured …

We investigated the localisation, gene expression, and activity of tissue factor pathway
inhibitor (TFPI) in endothelial cells (EC) grown in static conditions or under shear stress, in …
