Comparison of enoxaparin versus heparin during elective percutaneous coronary intervention performed with either eptifibatide or tirofiban (the ACTION Trial).

Limited data are available with regard to the pharmacodynamics and safety of combining enoxaparin with glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibition during elective percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs). We randomized 200 patients to receive open-label enoxaparin (0.75 mg/kg intravenous bolus) or unfractionated heparin (60 U/kg intravenous bolus) and eptifibatide or tirofiban during PCI.
