    Tranexamic acid (TXA) inhibits fibrinolysis by blocking lysine-binding sites on plasminogen and plasmin.

  • 2

    TXA reduced venous thrombus formation by 90% in a murine model without affecting thrombus mass or primary hemostasis.

  • 3

    TXA decreased thrombin generation in whole blood but not in platelet-rich plasma, indicating a cellular requirement.

  • 4

    TXA suppressed the rise in MCP-1 induced by stenosis, suggesting modulation of inflammatory responses.

  • 5

    TXA's effects on thrombus formation are context- and timing-dependent, with varying outcomes based on administration route and patient factors.
