    Tamponade is a rare but particularly serious complication of central venous catheters in the newborn. Tamponade can be due to the endocardic aggression caused by the continuous flow of a hyperosmotic solution or by a mechanical injury that can result in perforation of the atrial wall...
  3. Fibrin formation by staphylothrombin facilitates Staphylococcus aureus-induced platelet aggregation.
    Thomas T Vanassche, Alexandre A Kauskot, and Peter P Verhamme

However, the staphylothrombin-mediated conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin initiated platelet aggregation and secondary activation and facilitated S. aureus -platelet interactions. Both the genetic a...
