2019-1-1 · Platelet function testing began with the application of the in vivo bleeding time by Duke in 1910. 12 The technique consists of inflicting a small incision in the skin of the forearm or the earlobe, and recording the time required for a clot to form at the site of the incision and stop the flow of blood. The bleeding time was further refined by the Ivy technique and the availability of ...

2016-8-1 · Generally, platelet function testing for ASA is difficult to reproduce . For Clopidogrel, the reproducibility was expected to be higher. However, our results show that the reproducibility in a few-day horizon is poor and thus one should not rely on a single assay only. Therefore, to identify a patient as HPR, at least two assays should be used ...
2021-7-15 · This study shows that platelet function testing in the acute phase failed to predict bleeding events in patients with ACS and treated with P2Y 12 inhibitors, whatever the drug. We could consider early platelet function testing as a test for efficacy and late platelet function testing as a test for safety. Sources of funding
2015-4-1 · Recently, Gorlinger et al 12 and Weber et al 13 published algorithms that included the use of point-of-care platelet function testing using multiple electrode aggregometry (MEA).

2011-12-1 · Materials and methods. In 109 patients with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease (PAD) of the lower limbs, platelet function testing (adenosine diphosphate-, collagen- and epinephrine-induced aggregation using light transmission aggregometry) was performed before and at multiple time points up to 1 year after a percutaneous angioplasty.

The AVALANCHE study L’évaluation de la fonction plaquettaire sous inhibiteurs P2Y12 mesurée en phase aiguë est-elle utile pour prédire les saignements chez les patients atteints de SCA dans la vie réelle ?
2 天前 · In addition, the STS guidelines address the use of platelet function testing stating that because of the high negative predictive value, preoperative point-of-care testing to assess bleeding risk may be useful in identifying patients with high residual platelet reactivity after usual doses of antiplatelet drugs, and who can undergo operation without elevated bleeding risk.
2021-8-5 · In summary, accumulating data suggest platelet function testing as a valid tool to define the short and long-term prognosis in ACS/PCI patients. The development of point-of-care assays able to assess platelet function at the bedside will allow its more broad scale use and thus better define its prognostic value in various clinical scenarios.
2017-3-25 · We carefully read the ANTARCTIC study by Guillaume Cayla and colleagues (Oct 22, p 2015),1 and would like to suggest a different interpretation of the results. The trial studied the utility of platelet function reactivity (assessed by VerifyNow) guidance in elderly patients (aged ≥75 years) with acute coronary syndrome and ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who underwent
Platelet function tests have been traditionally used to aid in the diagnosis and management of patients with bleeding problems. Given the role of platelets in atherothrombosis, several dedicated platelet function instruments are now available that are simple to use and can be used as point-of-care assays. These can provide rapid assessment of platelet function within whole blood without the ...
2008-10-1 · PURPOSE: Emerging data suggest that many patients are non responsive or only partially responsive to antiplatelet therapy. Different methods have been described to identify such patients. Traditionally light transmission aggregometry (LTA) is considered the gold standard. Helena Laboratories ICHOR/ Plateletworks® is a useful point of care test, based on platelet counts and provides a rapid ...
2021-8-23 · Platelet function testing is not a perfect reflection of the clotting process in the body (in vivo). A person with normal platelet function test results may still experience excessive bleeding or inappropriate clotting during and after a surgery. Most samples for platelet function testing are only stable for a very short period of time.
2017-8-27 · Oral P2Y12 receptor inhibitors are key for secondary prevention of atherothrombotic events in patients with acute coronary syndromes, in particular those undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)1. Prasugrel and ticagrelor are more potent than clopidogrel, which is characterised by increased rates of high on-treatment platelet

2020-3-12 · The test is used to evaluate platelet function in particular. It is also a recommended procedure when an inherited or drug-induced platelet dysfunction is suspected. Below are 10 important aspects that you can learn about platelet aggregation test: 1. Platelet Count is a different test.
2021-5-5 · Platelets (Thrombocytes) Definition. Platelets or thrombocytes are anucleated cells derived from the megakaryocytic cells in the bone marrow that, besides being one of the key players in maintaining hemostasis, are involved in developing non-hemostatic immune functions.
