Abstract
Adherence of platelets to subendothelial structures of damaged vessel walls is involved in several aspects of vascular disease; (a) the adherence of platelets to the vessel wall leads to the development of arterial thrombi and thromboembolic complications of atherosclerosis; (b) platelets release a factor which promotes the growth of smooth muscle cells (1) and fibroblasts (2) and thus could be involved in the development of atherosclerotic lesions; (c) platelets also release or form elastase (3), collagenase (4) and materials which increase vascular permeability (5).
