Fondaparinux Trial With Unfractionated Heparin (UFH) During Revascularization in Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS)

Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety of two different dose regimens of unfractionated heparin (UFH) during a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedure in patients with UA (unstable angina)/NSTEMI (non ST segment elevation myocardial infarction) who have been initially treated with fondaparinux.
