Summary. Background: During and shortly after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, there is an increase in thromboembolic events. CABG, a strong inflammatory stimulus, is associated with a hypercoaguable state. Platelets might contribute to this hypercoaguable state because they have a pivotal role in thrombosis. In the days following surgery there is augmented platelet regeneration in response to the inflammatory stimulus.
