Iohexol, platelet activation and thrombosis: II. Iohexol-induced platelet secretion does not affect collagen-induced or tissue-factor-induced thrombus formation in blood that is anticoagulated with heparin and aspirin

Background: There is a dispute about the potential effects of radiographic contrast media (CM) on thrombogenesis. The nonionic CM iohexol triggers platelet β-thromboglobulin (β-TG) secretion, and thus may activate the platelets and promote thrombosis. We addressed this topic in a study employing a h...
