Periprocedural anticoagulation in non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome: time to reassess? %K %X Non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS) are responsible for almost 1 million admissions in the U.S. annually (1), and represent a spectrum of clinical conditions ranging from unstable angina (UA) to non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). The most important cause is intraluminal thrombosis due to atherosclerotic plaque rupture, which impairs distal blood flow and may lead to myocardial ischemia or infarction. %U https://atm.amegroups.org/article/view/34785 %V 8 %N 8 %P 556 %@ 2305-5847
