J Trauma Acute Care Surg. 2024 Jan 1;96(1):e5-e7. doi: 10.1097/TA.0000000000004137. Epub 2023 Oct 3.

Abstract

Fibrinolytic shutdown (versus hypofibrinolysis) = plasmin burst followed by diminished fibrinolysis. After thrombin and plasmin burst, fibrinolysis is inhibited, mediated by increased TAFI. #TAFI #TIC #surgscience @JuliaColemanMD @CUDeptSurg @DenverHealthMed @OhioStateSurg @mitchelljayc
