Table 1 Antithrombotic agents commonly administered to patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention
Table 2 Key considerations in selecting the optimal antithrombotic regimen for an individual patient
Figure 2 Algorithm for selecting the optimal antithrombotic regimen incorporating cardiac risk, bleeding risk, and clopidogrel pretreatment. In this algorithm it is assumed that all patients have received aspirin.
*If bivalirudin is used, a loading dose of clopidogrel should be given as soon as possible in the cardiac catheterization laboratory to decrease the risk of subacute stent thrombosis.
