Thrombus composition and its implication in ischemic stroke assessment and revascularization treatments by Juan Marta-Enguita, Florencio J.D. Machado, Josune Orbe, Roberto Muñoz

“…However, other factors such as clot formation time, associated inflammatory status, or activation of additional immune and coagulation pathways (neutrophil extracellular trap [NET] delivery, platelet aggregation, endothelial activation, and von Willebrand Factor release) have been described as determinants in thrombus characteristics. Thus, variable proportions of fibrin-/platelet-rich and erythrocyte-rich areas are closely interrelated within the thrombus, frequently associated with a protective outer shell with high concentrations of fibrin, NETs, and von Willebrand Factor. …”
