K-134 and cilostazol were administered to rats in a single dose 90 min before creation of the arteriovenous shunt. K-134 at concentrations above 10 mg/kg and cilostazol at concentrations above 30 mg/kg decreased the incidence of occlusive arteriovenous shunt thrombi (%) (*P<0.05, *P<0.01, two-tailed Fisher's exact test with Bonferroni's procedure, n = 12).
