INTEREST in the electrochemical nature of thrombosis1,2 has prompted us to study thrombus deposition on metal electrodes inserted through side branches into the carotid and femoral arteries of mongrel dogs. Magnesium, aluminium, cadmium, nickel, copper, gold and platinum, which cover a wide range in the electromotive series, were chosen for the present investigation.
