AS early as 1964, it was proposed that coagulation reactions leading to hemostasis occurred in sequential steps in which a zymogen clotting factor, when activated, was capable of activating subsequent clotting factors in a waterfall or cascade mechanism. 1 Factor XII was activated by a surface, such as collagen, leading to factor XIIa, which then was capable of activating factor XI to XIa and thereafter to sequential activation of the other clotting factors, finally leading to the rapid conversion of prothrombin to thrombin. Later, this concept was modified when it was found that clotting factors previously thought to be enzymes were in fact cofactors. For example, factor VIII was found to be a cofactor for factor IX, and factor V was found to be a cofactor for factor X (fig. 1). Those who accepted this concept of coagulation envisioned intrinsic and extrinsic pathways of coagulation. The intrinsic system was composed entirely of factors in the circulating blood, whereas the extrinsic pathway included tissue factor (TF), thought to be extrinsic to the circulation and which acted as a receptor for factor VII. This concept held that factor X could be activated by both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways. However, it was realized early on that the extrinsic and intrinsic systems were not independent of one another. It was known that deficiency of factor XII, prekallikrein, and high-molecular-weight kininogen were not associated with bleeding. Furthermore, deficiencies of factors VIII and IX were not compensated for by an intact extrinsic system, neither was a deficiency of factor VII alleviated by an intact intrinsic pathway. Ultimately, it was realized that the TF/VIIa complex could activate both factors IX and X, suggesting that the extrinsic and intrinsic pathway concept was not applicable to in vivo hemostasis, though the concept was a valuable scheme for diagnostic purposes.Although not shown in figure 1, it is now known that factor VIII circulates in complex with von Willebrand factor, the latter acting as a carrier molecule that serves to transport factor VIII from circulation to the platelet surface by virtue of the binding of von Willebrand factor. von Willebrand factor also plays a role in the adhesion of platelets to components of the vessel wall.
