[Agenesis of the right branch of the pulmonary artery, diagnosis by lung scan].
The white thrombus is formed due to the platelet adhesiveness to the vascular wall, and to their agglutination mediated by the liberation of ADP, the adenosine inactivation and the deposit of calcium and accelerating factors of coagulation as well. The red thrombus is formed by the thromboplastic activity, combined with the action of several coagulation factors, fibrin, erythrocytes and leucocytes. For the above mentioned facts, we may try to avoid the white thrombus formation by means of antiadhesive platelets drug, and the red thrombus production with the use of anticoagulants. If the thrombus is already formed, the drugs of choice are the fibrinolytics, to intend the dissolution of the clot. In the present paper, the mean characteristics as well as the actual concepts on the use of these three groups of drugs, are described.
