Failure of enoxaparin during coronary stenting: a case report

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2005 Nov;66(3):343-5. doi: 10.1002/ccd.20475.

Abstract

A 90-year-old male underwent coronary stenting following a bout of coronary insufficiency. Coronary stenting was performed 6 hr following the last dose of low-molecular-weight heparin but was complicated by extensive intrastent clot formation. Low-molecular-weight heparin in the absence of a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor blocker may be insufficient during percutaneous coronary intervention.
