Pathomechanisms of Defective Hemostasis During and After Extracorporeal Circulation: Contact Phase Activation

  • Conference paper
Blood Use in Cardiac Surgery

Abstract

Contact of blood with so-called foreign surfaces or macromolecular structures results in activation of both coagulation and fibrinolysis. This activation is mediated by the contact phase system. This system was originally discovered in vitro in relation to coagulation [13] and also fibrinolysis [12], but has since been implicated in several other processes and reactions, such as vasodilatation, activation of complement, of neutrophils, and of the renin/angiotensin system.
