Abstract
Although the equipment, techniques, and adjunctive pharmacologic agents used during coronary angioplasty have evolved dramatically over the past 20 years, unfractionated heparin remains a standard component of the procedure. This article reviews recent data and current concepts regarding the use, importance, and proper dosing of heparin during percutaneous coronary intervention, especially when concomitant platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonist therapy is used.
