Percutaneous coronary artery stenting of an anomalous right coronary artery with high anterior takeoff using standard size 7 French left Judkins guiding catheters.

The anomalous right coronary artery with high anterior takeoff is an uncommon and technically difficult vessel for interventions. We describe 2 such cases in which standard size, 7 French, left Judkins guiding catheters allowed for successful percutaneous coronary intervention after many other guiding catheters had failed.

Safety of concomitant therapy with eptifibatide and enoxaparin in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: results of the Coronary Revascularization Using Integrilin and Single bolus Enoxaparin Study.

Objectives: This study was designed to assess whether use of enoxaparin during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) increased bleeding compared with unfractionated heparin, in addition to background therapy with eptifibatide.

Background: Data supporting the benefits of enoxaparin and the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor eptifibatide evolved in parallel. Information on combining these two classes of medications is limited.
