Abstract

Background and Aims: Factor Xa (FXa) and thrombin exert non-haemostatic cellular effects. Late-outgrowth endothelial cells (OECs) are a type of endothelial progenitor cells. We investigated the effect of rivaroxaban, a direct oral anticoagulant which specifically inhibits FXa’s activity, on FXa-and thrombin-induced OEC activation, using as activation markers the ICAM-1 membrane expression and MCP-1 secretion.
