The aim of this study was to compare the activated clotting time (ACT) obtained with the Hemochron device and the Heparin Management Test (HMT) on a new automated whole-blood coagulometer, the Thrombolytic Assessment System, in patients undergoing angioplasty. Fifty patients undergoing balloon angio

Heparin anticoagulation is utilized during and after interventionai cardiac catheterization procedures to reduce the risk of acute thrombotic coronary artery occlusion. The short half-life of heparin, the importance of maintaining therapeutic anticoaguiation, and the time delay inherent in the proce
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
