Brief summary

The aim of this study is to determine how two different types of iodinated contrast media (CM) agents, low-osmolar ionic ioxaglate and iso-osmolar non-ionic iodixanol, affect specific markers of thrombogenesis and platelet function in patients undergoing coronary angiography, and if the use of bivalirudin, a direct thrombin inhibitor used during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), affects any contrast-related changes in thrombogenesis and platelet function.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Thrombin Generation Test: BaselinebaselineThe thrombin generation test uses recombinant tissue factor as a stimulus to initiate thrombin generation in plasma samples. The outcome from this assay is reported as area under the curve and represents the amount of thrombin in each sample. The curve is created by measuring the generated thrombin every 20 seconds from 0 to 95 minutes post stimulus.

Outcome results

Primary

Thrombin Generation Test: After Coronary Angiography

The thrombin generation test uses recombinant tissue factor as a stimulus to initiate thrombin generation in plasma samples. The outcome from this assay is reported as area under the curve and represents the amount of thrombin in each sample. The curve is created by measuring the generated thrombin every 20 seconds from 0 to 95 minutes post stimulus.

Time frame: 1 hour

Population: A valid thrombogram was generated post-diagnostic angiography in 43/50 participants in the Ioxaglate arm and 37/50 participants in the Iodixanol arm. Thus, not all 100 participants were able to be included in analysis.
