The potential pathophysiological role of circulating microparticles (MPs) has been recognized in various conditions, such as cardiovascular and thrombotic diseases. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has a complex pathophysiology that involves coagulopathy and inflammation. We investigated endothelial-, platelet-, and leukocyte-derived microparticles (EMPs, PMPs, and LMPs, respectively) in 16 patients with severe isolated TBI. Arterial and cerebrovenous samples were taken repeatedly, during 1-72 h after injury. Subpopulations of MPs, exposing tissue factor (TF) and P-selectin, were also studied. MP counts in cerebrovenous samples, irrespective of cellular origin, were higher in TBI cases, compared to healthy controls (peak levels of EMPs were approximately 7 times higher, PMPs 1.4 times higher, and LMPs 2 times higher, respectively; p
