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 />
