CONCLUSIONS
Heparin is pivotal during percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI]. Recently updated ACC/AHA guidelines recommended low molecular weight heparin [LMWH] or unfractionated heparin [UFH] as the anticoagulants of choice for management of acute coronary syndrome [ACS].
LMWH is a better anticoagulant than UFH from a theoretical and pharmacological point of view. However, some interventionalists are cautious about using LMWH due to the lack of bedside testing.
Data are accumulating suggesting that LMWH, especially enoxaparin, is safe and effective during elective PCI. In ACS (SYNERGY) there appear to be slightly higher rates of bleeding.
Recently approved point-of-care ENOX™ test provides a Citrated Clotting Time [CCT] for enoxaparin, enabling the level of anticoagulation to be determined within 5 minutes.
The ELECT trial suggested a therapeutic range of 250-450 secs. The ENOX™ test label suggest ≥ 260 secs as therapeutic.
To assess the safety and efficacy profile of using enoxaparin during elective an emergent PCI when monitored by CCT.
Cohort analysis of prospective patients presented to a tertiary university hospital for PCI.
Baseline CCT was measured [≥ 260 s corresponds anti-Xa level of 1.0 IU/mL]. Those with CCT < 260 s will receive a booster IV enoxaparin bolus of 0.3 mg/kg with CCT repeated 10 mins later. The following groups are identified:-
I) Patients received enoxaparin 1 mg/kg IV and CCT ≥ 260s
II) Patients received ≥ 3 doses of enoxaparin SC and CCT ≥ 260s
III) Patients with <3 doses of SC enoxaparin and needed a supplementary 0.3 mg/kg of enoxaparin IV
Patients all received dual oral anti-platelet therapy, eptifibatide, and stenting at the appropriate lesions.
Closure devises were employed in the majority of patients.

Our study demonstrated that the level of anticoagulation by enoxaparin can be effectively measured by the Citrated Clotting Time.
1 mg/kg IV bolus of enoxaparin in patients who have not received any anticoagulation, or a supplementary IV dose of 0.3 mg/kg in patients with CCT < 260 secs and are already receiving SC enoxaparin, will achieve adequate anticoagulation levels for PCI.
Use of enoxaparin during PCI is associated with high procedural success rate during both urgent and elective settings with acceptable level of bleeding rates when compared with other contemporary trials of PCI using enoxaparin. The rate of bleeding events in the ACS group is higher than in elective cases.
The CCT documented effective anticoagulation after IV enoxaparin administration at 1mg/kg single bolus, and with 0.3 mg/kg “booster” dose.
The levels of CCT obtained had a higher dispersion than previously reported.
In the ACS group there was a trend towards a higher rate of bleeding despite achieving similar CCT times when compared to patients undergoing elective PCI. All the ACS patients received concomitant ASA, clopidogrel and eptifibatide. Half of the ACS group was already on SC enoxaparin.
