Abstract

Delayed administration of bivalirudin or heparin for transradial catheterization provides similar efficacy in preventing RAO. Because of its low cost, a single bolus of heparin can be preferred in case of diagnostic angiography whereas bivalirudin can be contemplated in case of ad hoc percutaneous coronary intervention. © 2010 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
