3.4.21.27 drug development activated factor XI inhibition as a viable method to increase the ratio of benefit to risk in an antithrombotic drug 707308 3.4.21.27 medicine anti-thrombosis therapy 669420 3.4.21.27 medicine antithrombosis therapy 667059 3.4.21.27 medicine blood coagulation 667620 3.4.21.27 medicine diagnosis of FXI deficiency may be considered in patients with delayed postoperative bleeding and prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time, especially in a demographically high-risk population, such as Ashkenazi Jews. Women with severe FXI deficiency and prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time can be managed with fresh frozen plasma transfusion before neuraxial anesthesia 707134 3.4.21.27 medicine the enzyme may be a suitable target for the development of an antithrombotic therapy 683756 3.4.21.27 medicine therapeutically targeting FXI may offer a strategy for preventing or treating arterial thrombosis that is not associated with the high rate of hemorrhage that accompanies many currently used anticoagulants. Pharmacological FXI inhibitors may be beneficial in septic disease 709722 3.4.21.27 medicine treatment options for FXI-deficient patients include virus-inactivated fresh frozen plasma, plasma-derived FXI concentrates, and activated recombinant FVII. Potential role of desmopressin for either treatment of bleeding episodes or the prevention of postoperative bleeding in patients with milder FXI defects. A single desmopressin infusion is sufficient to provide an efficient perioperative hemostasis 707148
