Severe factor V (FV) deficiency is associated with mild to severe bleeding diathesis, but many patients with FV levels lower than 1% bleed less than anticipated. We used calibrated automated thrombography to screen patients with severe FV deficiency for protective procoagulant defects. Thrombin generation in FV-deficient plasma was only measurable at high tissue factor concentrations. Upon reconstitution of FV-deficient plasma with purified FV, thrombin generation increased steeply with FV concentration, reaching a plateau at approximately 10% FV. FV-deficient plasma reconstituted with 100% FV generated severalfold more thrombin than normal plasma, especially at low tissue factor concentrations (1.36 pM) or in the presence of activated protein C, suggesting reduced tissue factor pathway inhibitor ( TFPI) levels in FV-deficient plasma. Plasma TFPI antigen and activity levels were indeed lower (P
