While it is suggested that platelet hyperreactivity plays a role in the arterial thrombi, its link with venous thromboembolism (VTE) is not well defined. Aggregometry using low concentrations of agonists is proposed as a reliable method to detect hyperreactivity. The aim of this study was to examine whether platelet hyperreactivity affects the development of VTE after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
