Table 3.
Examples of scenarios compatible with local hyperfibrinolysis.
| Local hyperfibrinolysis: trauma or surgery on tissues rich in fibrinolytic activators (t-PA and u-PA), causing their local release | |
|---|---|
| Tissues | Bleeding scenarios with potential contribution of local fibrinolysis |
| Vascular endothelium of leptomeninges and choroid plexus | Bleeding after subarachnoid hemorrhage |
| Traumatic brain injury | |
| Meningioma surgery | |
| Oral and nasal mucosae | Adenoidectomy |
| Tonsillectomy | |
| Oral cavity surgery | |
| Rhinoplasty and other nasal endoscopic surgeries | |
| Tooth extraction in hemophiliac patients or with von Willebrand disease | |
| Eyes (Schlemm's canal endothelium) | Traumatic hyphema |
| Eye trauma | |
| Mucosa of the esophagus and stomach | Upper gastrointestinal bleeding |
| Genito-urinary tract | Surgery on the prostate, uterus, ovary, and bladder |
| Rectal mucosa | Lower gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis |
