Conditions
Brief summary
HD PCI is a multicenter, randomized, registry-based, cluster crossover design trial of higher dose versus lower dose heparin in patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Detailed description
The primary objective of HD PCI is to compare the effect of a policy of higher dose heparin (100 U/kg) use to a policy of lower dose heparin (70 U/kg) use on death, myocardial infarction (MI) or target vessel revascularization (TVR) in patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Interventions
Centre wide policy of administering 100 U/kg bolus of intravenous UFH for elective PCI procedures
Centre wide policy of administering 70 U/kg bolus of intravenous UFH for elective PCI procedures
