Representative images of thrombin based gelatin matrix clots acquired with FESEM. Control (A,B), clopidogrel (C,D); 10 μm scale bars (A,C), 5 μm scale bars (B,D); Arrows: Gelatin (a), Fibrin (b), Red Blood Cells (c). No qualitative differences were observed in the fibrin structure (porosity, fiber thickness, and branching) or the cellular accumulation around the gelatin granules including large numbers of trapped RBCs between clopidogrel and control donor groups.
