title: [Platelet kinetics during arterial diseases. Macro-angiopathy, cardiac valve prosthesis and prosthesis of the aortic bifurcation: 73 cases (author's transl)].
abstract: From 73 platelet kinetic studies in vascular diseases, some conclusions can be drawn: excessive platelet consumption is not as usual as previously published; abnormal platelet recovery is an usual feature in patients with vascular or valvular prosthesis; correlation between platelet kinetic abnormalities and thrombo-embolic complications needs reevaluation; constant abnormal platelet kinetics in the cases of aorto-femoral graft made these cases a valuable model for the clinical and biological evaluation of the drugs committed to a change of the platelet functions.
