title: Relation between the degree of procedural anticoagulation and complications after coronary stent implantation.
abstract: The impact of the degree of anticoagulation in patients who underwent stent implantation without glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors was examined in 1,020 patients. High levels of procedural anticoagulation with heparin were found to increase hemorrhagic complications without improving clinical or angiographic outcomes.
