Article Synopsis
- Impella devices provide mechanical support for patients with cardiogenic shock or those at high risk during PCI, but anticoagulation protocols for these patients are unclear and complicated by the use of heparin solutions.
- A study with 41 patients using a modified unfractionated heparin (UFH) protocol aimed to evaluate bleeding and thrombotic complications, finding an overall bleeding rate of 29.2% and a thrombosis rate of 4.9%.
- The findings suggest that using a lower initial UFH dose while targeting specific anticoagulation levels can effectively balance therapeutic needs and reduce the complexity of treatment calculations.
