Normal thromboelastography with a markedly prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time in severe prekallikrein deficiency: Implications for perioperative hemostatic assessment

open access: yesTransfusion, Volume 66, Issue 10, Page 2031-2036, October 2026.
Abstract Background Prekallikrein (PK) deficiency is a rare contact factor deficiency that can markedly prolong the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) without a bleeding phenotype. Because viscoelastic hemostatic assays also rely on contact activation, their behavior in severe PK deficiency is relevant to perioperative evaluation of isolated ...
