The distinctive structure and composition of arterial and venous thrombi and pulmonary emboli
Abstract Although arterial and venous thromboembolic disorders are among the most frequent causes of mortality and morbidity, there has been little description of how the composition of thrombi and emboli depends on their vascular origin and age. We quantified the structure and composition of arteri...
