Summary

The triggering of electrical thrombosis on electrodes depends on the coagulation steps prior to factor IX activation. Factor XII may be responsible for this phenomenon. The platelet may also play a role. It has been shown that platelet deposition is visible at potentials more positive than +0.3 V versus the normal hydrogen electrode. The same compounds which inhibit intravascular thrombosis will also impair electrical thrombosis.
