Predicting Arterial Thrombotic Events Following Peripheral Revascularization Using Objective Viscoelastic Data.

ABSTRACT: Background Peripheral artery disease is endemic in our globally aging population, with >200 million affected worldwide. Graft/stent thrombosis after revascularization is common and frequently results in amputation, major adverse cardiovascular events, and cardiovascular mortality. Optimizing medications to decrease thrombosis is of paramount importance; however, limited guidance exists on how to use and monitor antithrombotic therapy in this heterogeneous population. Thromboelastography with platelet mapping (TEG-PM) provides comprehensive coagulation metrics and may be integral to the next stage of patient-centered thrombophrophylaxis. This prospective study aimed to determine if TEG-PM could predict subacute graft/stent thrombosis following lower extremity revascularization, and if objec
