Key information

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age>18
  • Referred for coronary angiography with possible coronary revascularization or adjunctive invasive diagnostic testing (IVUS/OCT, FFR, or iFR)

Exclusion criteria

  • Receipt of LMWH at treatment dose (not DVT prophylaxis dose) within 6 hours of coronary angiography
  • Prior GP IIb/IIIa use within the previous 72 hours
  • Use of warfarin (vitamin K antagonist) or direct oral anticoagulant
  • Patients on LMWH bridging strategy
  • PCI within prior 30 days
  • Planned use of bivalirudin as the procedural anticoagulant
  • Rotational atherectomy
  • Excimer laser coronary angioplasty
  • Chronic total occlusions
  • Patients with active bleeding disorders or bleeding diathesis
  • Patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
  • Patient with clinical evidence of cardiogenic shock (defined as SBP<90 mmHg for ≥30 min OR support to maintain SBP ≥90 mmHg AND evidence of end-organ hypoperfusion (urine output <30 mL/h or cool extremities)
  • Chronic kidney disease stage 4/5 (GFR 30 mL/min)

Treatment and study plan

Unfractionated heparin

Drug

Administration of unfractionated heparin will be assessed using the activated clotting time

Primary outcomes

  1. Bleeding

    Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented bleeding event up to 24 hours

    Number of subjects to experience bleeding defined as Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) 1, 2, 3 or 5 or EASY hematoma classification after transradial/ulnar procedures (I-V)

  2. Adverse Clinical Events

    Time frame: 30 days

    Number of subjects to experience a Net Adverse Clinical Event (NACE) defined as all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke, target lesion revascularization, or major bleeding

Secondary outcomes

  1. Stent Thrombosis

    Time frame: 30 days

    Number of subjects to experience stent thrombosis
