Back to the ELT

In follow-up to Cassandra McGeachy’s August 7 question on the euglobulin lysis time (ELT), I’ve found two references for upgraded ELT methods that may be helpful.They are:

• Cellai AP. Lami D, Magi A, et al. Assessment of fibrinolytic activity by measuring the lysis time of a tissue factor-induced clot: a feasibility evaluation. Clin Appl Thromb Hemost 2010;16:337–44.
• Smith AA, Jacobson LJ, Miller BI, et al. A new euglobulin clot lysis assay for global fibrinolysis. Thrombos Research 2003:112:329–37.
