Detection of platelet consumption in aortic graft with 111In-labeled platelets.
Increased platelet consumption in two patients with aortic graft was detected by scintiphotography using 111In-labeled autologous platelets. There was shortened platelet survival time in these patients. These findings might suggest that platelet consumption in aortic prosthesis is related to thrombogenesis.
