- PDT of blood vessels induces apoptosis, and it is conceivable that this may contribute to changes in endothelial cell thrombogenicity.
- These observations add further support for a lack of thrombogenicity with heterozygous plasminogen deficiency.
- In contrast, a significant reduction of the thrombogenicity in vivo was observed at 6 and 24 hours on diphenhydramine pretreatment.
