Comparative effects of synthetic pentasaccharide, low-molecular-weight heparin, unfractionated heparin and recombinant hirudin on the generation of factor viia and prothrombin activation after coagulation of human plasma

We studied the effect of synthetic pentasaccharide, a low-molecular-weight heparin (enoxaparin), unfractionated heparin and recombinant hirudin on the generation of factor VIIa (FVIIa) and prothrombin activation after in-vitro clotting of human platelet-poor plasma. FVIIa was measured with a new clo
