Abstract
Low-molecular-weight heparins and direct thrombin inhibitors are emerging as alternative anticoagulants to unfractionated heparin in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This paper reviews the pharmacologic properties of these newer antithrombotic agents and evaluates the clinical data demonstrating their use in patients undergoing PCI.
