    Platelet aggregates increase during arterial occlusion in femoral arteriosclerosis surgery. Shorter occlusion times correlate with fewer reversible platelet aggregates, emphasizing swift surgical technique.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Hematology
    • Cardiovascular Research

    Background:

    • Obliterating femoral arteriosclerosis poses significant challenges in reconstructive arterial surgery.
    • Platelet activation and aggregation are critical factors in vascular disease and surgical outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate changes in platelet number, aggregation, and release markers during reconstructive arterial surgery.
    • To assess the relationship between platelet response and arterial occlusion time.

    Main Methods:

    • Blood samples were collected from popliteal, superior caval, and radial veins/arteries in nine patients undergoing surgery.
    • Platelet counts, reversible platelet aggregates, and platelet factor 4 (PF-4) levels were measured at various surgical stages.

    Main Results:

    • Platelet aggregates increased at all sampling sites during ischemia, with lower levels in arterial compared to venous blood.
    • The percentage of reversible platelet aggregates in the popliteal vein significantly increased with ischemia duration, correlating strongly with occlusion time (Rs = 0.96).
    • Plasma PF-4 concentrations showed a general rise throughout the procedure.

    Conclusions:

    • Findings suggest platelet aggregation is heightened during arterial occlusion in this surgical context.
    • The strong correlation between reversible platelet aggregates and occlusion time underscores the importance of minimizing ischemia.
    • Efficient surgical techniques and reduced main vessel occlusion periods are crucial for managing platelet activation during surgery.
