Table 2.
Prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) of heparinized and non-heparinized scaffolds over 12 weeks.
Time (weeks) | heparinized | Non-heparinized SF scaffold | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 | ||
PT | >120 | >120 | >120 | >120 | >120 | >120 | >120 | 85.6 ± 9.1 | 13.6 ± 1.1 |
APTT | >180 | >180 | >180 | >180 | >180 | >180 | >180 | 151.5 ± 11.7 | 26.5 ± 2.4 |
There was a significant difference between clotting times for two types of scaffolds at each point of time (P < 0.01).
