      Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common disease with an incidence of 1–2 per 1000 individuals. VTE is a collective term for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid-membrane-bound spherical vesicles that bud off from the cells upon activation and apoptosis. Their size varies between 30 nm and 1 μm. Recent advances in experimental and observational studies ...
