Mar 22nd, 2021 - Data on optimal dosing of unfractionated heparin (UFH) in the presence of a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) to achieve and maintain an activated clotting time (ACT) of ≥300 seconds during catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (CA-AF) are limit...

Mar 4th, 2021 - Activated clotting time (ACT)-based heparin dosing during percutaneous intervention (PCI) is recommended by Society guidelines. However, the relationship between ACT and outcome in the setting of elective PCI has not been sufficiently studied. We ...

Feb 4th, 2021 - The activated clotting time (ACT) assay is used to monitor and titrate anticoagulation therapy with unfractionated heparin during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Observations at our institution suggested a considerable difference between...

Jan 21st, 2021 - A weight-based heparin dosing policy adjusted for preprocedural oral anticoagulation was implemented to reduce the likelihood of subtherapeutic dosing during left atrial catheter ablation procedures. We hypothesized that initiation of the protocol...

Dec 22nd, 2020 - Dose adjustment of unfractionated heparin (UFH) anticoagulation is an important factor to reduce hemorrhagic events. High doses of heparin can be monitored by Activated Clotting Time (ACT). Because of limited information about the monitoring of lo...

Sep 9th, 2019 - The peculiar heparin behavior started about 6 months ago. Dosing that had been reliable countless times in the cath lab was failing to get the activated clotting time (ACT) to target, forcing extra boluses. "I called my pharmacy and asked them to ...

Abstract and Introduction Background: Approximately 50% of percutaneous coronary interventions in the United States are performed with unfractionated heparin and no IIb/IIIa agent. The operator must weigh the risks and benefits of more intensive a...
