Recent trials suggest that Aspirin (ASA) reduces the incidence of venous thromboembolism in human. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this effect are still unclear. In this study we assessed the effects of ASA in venous thrombosis mouse model induced by inferior vena cava (IVC) ligation and we investigated the mechanisms responsible for this effect.
