Introduction: Circulating microparticles (MPs) may trigger a hypercoagulable state, leading to thrombotic complications. Data on their association with venous thromboembolism (VTE) are few and inconsistent.Materials and methods: To investigate whether or not high levels of MPs are associated with an increased risk of VTE, we carried out a case-control study on 186 patients with a first, objectively diagnosed, episode of VTE and 418 healthy controls. Plasma levels of circulating MPs were measured by flow cytometry.Results: Patients had higher median plasma levels of total MPs than controls (2184 per mu L vs 1769 per mu L, p
