In-vitro comparison of fondaparinux, unfractionated heparin, and enoxaparin in preventing cardiac catheter-associated thrombus

Abstract

Treatment with fonda, even in combination with eptifibatide, was not sufficient to prevent cardiac catheter thrombus development in our in-vitro study. However, the combination of fonda with 'half' therapeutic dosages of UFH were as efficient as other treatment strategies in preventing thrombus formation.
