Abstract
Summary
Thrombi were produced in rabbit mesenteric veins by dry ice trauma. Intravenous infusion of thrombokinase to produce hyper coagulability or ADP to increase platelet agglutinability failed to augment thrombus growth. Regional per fusion of ADP caused dramatic increase in the size of thrombi, but the effects were transient and persisted only during the period of infusion. It is concluded that structured thrombi are primarily vascular in origin.
