AbstractNormal haemostasis relies on the complex interactions of the coagulation cascade, platelets, and the endothelium. In this review, the roles of each of these elements are described as well as common causes for their derangement. Haemostasis may be manipulated via pharmacological means and in recent years there has been a significant increase in the number of agents available for influencing haemostatic mechanisms. It is essential that radiologists are aware of these mechanisms and drugs if they are to perform image-guided procedures safely. In addition to describing the relevant pathways and drugs, practical tips are provided.Copyright © 2011 The Royal College of Radiologists. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
