Thromboelastography (TEG®) and Platelet Function in Patients on Anti-platelet Agents
Sponsor: McMaster University
Summary
Can a post-operative analysis using a simple blood test (Thromboelastography(TEG®)) and Platelet Mapping Assay (PMA™) be able to detect the occurence of clotting or bleeding complications in patients on blood thinning (anti-platelet) agents?
