K Karnicki, RD MCBANE II, RS Miller… - Journal of Thrombosis …, 2004 - Elsevier
Background/objective: The efficacy of a direct factor (F) Xa inhibitor, ZK‐807834, was
compared with indirect inhibition by enoxaparin for inhibition and deaggregation of acute
platelet‐rich thrombi in a well‐characterized porcine carotid injury model. Methods: A crush
injury was performed on a randomly chosen carotid artery and the thrombus allowed to
propagate for 30 min. Pigs then received intravenous drug for 35 min: ZK‐807834‐Dose 1
(40 µg kg− 1 bolus+ 1.5 µg kg− 1 min− 1 infusion, n= 6); ZK‐807834‐Dose 2 (20 µg kg− 1 …
