A revised hypothesis of coagulation integrates all the factors known to be involved into a single pathway that is initiated by factor VIIa/tissue factor and in which "contact" factors are not required. A key point is that the initial hemostatic response must be "consolidated" by the progressive local generation of factor Xa and thrombin.
