This paper reports the procoagulant effect of rFVIIa in experimental thrombocytopenia, and in thromboasthenic platelets due to natural or experimentally induced glycoprotein deficiency. It shows that rFVIIa improved fibrin deposition, thrombin generation and platelet interaction at sites of vascular damage. These observations may explain the hemostatic effects of rFVIIa in controlling hemorrhage in patients with qualitative and quantitative platelet disorders.
