Abstract

Background and Aims: Factor Xa (FXa) and thrombin are coagulation serine proteases, which also exert non-haemostatic effects on various cell types through protease-activated receptors. Dabigatran and rivaroxaban are direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) that inhibit thrombin’s and FXa’s action, respectively, and are used in clinical practice. We investigated the effect of dabigatran and rivaroxaban on FXa- and thrombin- induced platelet aggregation, in vitro.
