Mathematical Models for Blood Coagulation - Fluid-Structure Interaction and Biomedical Applications - page 551

is probably the most promising from the current trends in blood coagulation
modeling.

At this very end of the chapter it is fair to note that the theory and mathematical
modeling of blood coagulation is so complex, that despite our effort of producing a
comprehensive overview, our presentation is necessarily incomplete. There can be
different ways of organizing this large material, according to different viewpoints
and also to give more or less emphasis to the various subjects. Since the topics
treated here are in a stage of rapid evolution, as more and more is known about
key elements intervening in the process (e.g., platelets, anticoagulant therapies,
etc.), this chapter should be understood as a starting point for a more detailed and
specialized investigation in this very specific, challenging and fascinating scientific
area.
