The effects of intravenous nitroglycerin (NTG) upon the bleeding time, platelet aggregation response, and plasma 6-keto-PGF1 alpha concentration were measured in 17 patients about to undergo coronary bypass grafting. NTG produced a dose-related prolongation of the bleeding time that correlated with the accompanying decrease in systolic blood pressure. Platelet aggregation was not affected and measurements of 6-keto-PGF1 alpha failed to reveal detectable levels (less than 10 pg/ml) either before or after NTG infusion. This suggests that the prolonged bleeding time associated with NTG infusion may be due to vasodilation and increased venous capacitance, rather than altered vascular-platelet interaction.
