Thrombelastography variables for whole blood, normal saline dilution (20% dilution of whole blood), control and thrombin (1IU, 5IU/ml) platelet lysate at 15 minutes, and control and thrombin (1IU, 5IU/ml) platelet lysate at 30 minutes (lysate in normal saline, 20% dilution of whole blood) in the presence of exogenous t-PA (75ng/ml). Thrombin lysate, with internalized thrombin, demonstrated reduced R-time compared to the control platelet lysate. In addition, control platelet lysate had an increased angle and MA compared to whole blood. Control platelet lysate, with preserved PAI-1, inhibited tPA-stimulated TEG fibrinolysis, with a reduced LY30 compared to normal saline and both thrombin platelet lysates (1IU, 5IU/ml) after degranulation of PAI-1. Control platelet lysate also demonstrated reduced LY30 compared to whole blood.

p<0.01 compared to control platelet lysates R-time at the same time point.
p<0.002 compared to whole blood angle.
p<0.02 compared to whole blood angle.
