Excerpt
Perfluorocarbon nanoparticles functionalized for thombin inhibition with Bivalirudin or PPACK were tested as an inhibitor of thrombin in vitro and in acute thrombosis models. The particles significantly inhibited occlusive arterial thrombi. The particles also manifested binding providing magnetic resonance contrast highlighting thrombi. …
