| Core Tip |
Although pulmonary embolism (PE) is classically considered a fibrin-rich, anticoagulation-responsive disorder, platelets are increasingly recognized as active participants in venous thrombogenesis and thrombo-inflammatory signaling. This mini-review examines the mechanistic and clinical evidence linking platelets to PE and critically evaluates the current and potential role of antiplatelet therapy in its prevention and management. |
