result<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> m<strong>or</strong>e thromb<strong>in</strong> generation<br />
1. Problem: concentrations of rFVIIa required f<strong>or</strong> hemostatic efficacy were far greater than what<br />
would be required to saturate TF<br />
ii. Cell-based system: rFVIIa can b<strong>in</strong>d to platelets and directly activate FX and FIX without TF<br />
iii. Recent data: when adm<strong>in</strong>istered <strong>in</strong> doses sufficient to bypass need f<strong>or</strong> FVIII <strong>or</strong> FIX, rFVIIa b<strong>in</strong>ds to<br />
surface of activated platelets <strong>in</strong> TF-<strong>in</strong>dependent manner and promotes FX activation and<br />
thromb<strong>in</strong> generation<br />
