Abstract:
This review focuses on studies of blood flow devices employed in man to unravel the mechanisms of bleeding and thrombotic disorders, and on the characterization of novel experimental antithrombotic entities and drug candidates in biopharmaceutical research and development. Clinical studies with drug candidates and new therapeutic strategies have also been performed, and the predictability of these experimental approaches to clinical situations is excellent. Based on the solid validation of these flow devices, miniature flow devices employing nonanticoagulated blood drawn directly from an antecubital vein should be developed for diagnostic purposes. It is anticipated that such a diagnostic flow device could develop into a personalized medicine approach.
