Study Arms (2)
High Dose of Unfractionated Heparin
EXPERIMENTAL100 IU/Kg of Unfractionated Heparin
Standard Dose of Unfractionated Heparin
ACTIVE COMPARATOR5000 IU of Unfractionated Heparin.
Interventions
Before removing the introducer sheath, the 2nd operator will pass the missing UFH dose to the first operator to reach 100 IU per kg of body weight in a 10 ml syringe mixed with 0.9% saline solution. The blinded first operator will administer this without knowing if it is saline or the supplemental dose of unfractionated heparin.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients over 18 years of age, both genders.
- Successful transradial acess for an elective diagnostic coronary angiography.
You may not qualify if:
- Weight \<50 Kg
- Puncture of the ipsilateral radial artery in the last month.
- Still ongoing effect of pre-procedural recently used oral anticoagulants.
- Use of enoxaparin in the past in the last 12 hours prior to the procedure.
- Use of unfractionated heparin in the last 6 hours prior the procedure
- Alterations in coagulation or platelets prone to bleeding or thrombotic complications.
- Anatomical alterations at the radial access site or radial artery.
- Arteriovenous fistula in the ipsilateral arm.
- History of major bleeding associated with the use of UFH.
