Inflammation-associated thrombosis is a non-negligible source of mortalities and morbidities worldwide. To manipulate inflammation-associated coagulation, nanoparticles that contain anti-inflammatory polymer (copolyoxalate containing vanillyl alcohol, PVAX) and anti-thrombotic heparin derivative deoxycholic acid (Hep-DOCA) are prepared. The strategy takes advantage of the
