Summary
Toward the end of the eighteenth century, interest turned to thrombi found within vessels. Morgagni opined that most thrombi found within vessels at necropsy developed after death but that intravascular clotting could occur during life [1,2]. Baillie wrote in 1793 that “it was known to every person acquainted with the animal economy that the blood coagulated in the vessels of the living body” [1,3]. He called attention to clots that formed in vessels after ligatures were placed and within dilated arteries.
