What are the immediate goals?
Prevent peri-procedural thrombosis
Minimize bleeding risk Are there any unique thrombotic risks? Are there unique bleeding risks? Are their drug-drug interactions? What is available and lab experience? What are the cost implications? Are there relevant future events to consider? Admission to Angiography Time

intensity x duration Summary
• Summary—for ACS/PCI there are between 30 and 1200 different combinations of options for the anticoagulation strategy • Ischemic events are lowered by 1-1.5% and bleeding events are increased by 1-1.5% • Advice—become very knowledgeable and comfortable with one drug at a time and then with one combination of anticoagulants, before exploring the next
