Abstract:
Thrombin generation measured after LVAS (4 patients) and TAH (1 patient) implantation was found to be elevated (3 times normal) in the first postoperative week and declined to normal levels when anticoagulation was begun. Thrombin generation was not elevated at the times of thromboembolic events (TIAs; N = 4 episodes).
