Mast cells enhance venous thrombus stability and lung fibrin deposition in murine sepsis.

Venous thrombo-embolism is a serious complication of sepsis despite standard thromboprophylaxis. Mast cells (MCs) promote deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in sterile murine models, but their contribution during sepsis remains unknown. We explored the role of MCs in DVT in lipopolysacch...
