When arterial blood samples for activated clotting time (ACT) are difficult to obtain from the arterial sheath during coronary intervention, venous ACT serves as a substitute. Data are lacking on whether arterial and venous ACT are identical and whether one can serve as an effective substitute for t
The standard high-range activated clotting time (sHR ACT) is used to monitor anticoagulation postangioplasty (PTCA), but may be unreliable. We assessed the accuracy of a new method we termed the ACT differential (ACT Diff), obtained by measuring the difference between an sHR ACT and a heparinase ACT
