Abstract
A revised hypothesis of coagulation integrates all the factors known to be involved into a single pathway that is initiated by factor VIIa/tissue factor and in which 'contact' factors are not required. A key point is that the initial hemostatic response must be 'consolidated' by the progressive local generation of factor Xa and thrombin.
