Activated Clotting Time and Outcomes During Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Non–ST-Segment–Elevation Myocardial Infarction

BACKGROUND: Activated clotting time (ACT) is widely used to guide unfractionated heparin dosing during percutaneous coronary intervention. However, its value in predicting complications is controversial in the modern era. We sought to examine the relationship between ACT and outcomes in non-ST-segment-elevation acute coronary syndrome patients. METHODS AND RESULTS: In the Fondaparinux With Unfractionated Heparin During Revascularization in …
