[An antithrombotic therapy from the viewpoint of hematology].

Abstract

Platelets and coagulation factors play an important role in the physiological process of hemostasis, and are also involved in thrombosis. Treatment strategies for thrombosis include antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapies. The former approach is effective for managing arterial thrombosis (caused by platelet activation), whereas the latter is used to treat venous thrombosis (caused by coagulation factor activation). Hemostatic monitoring is crucial for selecting the appropriate antithrombotic therapy.
