Activated factor XI is associated with increased factor VIIa - Antithrombin complexes in stable coronary artery disease: Impact on cardiovascular outcomes.

This study is the first to show that high FVIIa-AT complexes characterize advanced CAD patients with detectable FXIa and active TF, which is, in part, driven by oxidative stress. High FVIIa-AT complexes were associated with the risk of ischemic stroke/SE during long-term follow-up, highlighting the need for effective antithrombotic agents in CAD.
