Welcome to Ask Stago, The Podcast dedicated to provide expert answers to your expert questions in coagulation.

In today’s episode, our guest Professor Romaric Lacroix will explain us how fibrinolysis is important to the whole hemostasis process and how the sample fibrinolytic activity needs to be evaluated and sometimes monitored.
