Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Experimental and epidemiologic studies have identified several potential genetic components for increased thrombotic risk. Studies of thrombosis often use rat models without considering the effect of strain differences on thrombotic propensity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A comparison of in vivo thrombotic occlusion after small-vessel anastomosis was made between age/weight-matched male Copenhagen and...
