Abstract:

One of the most significant problems in interventional cardiology is a correct drug-support after held procedure. First of all it is the prevention of stent thrombosis - application of anticoagulants and antiaggregants. The variety of these drugs on sale constantly grows - that leads to have clear ideas of their properties.

Article presents the review of clinical researches devoted to the recently appeared and early not used in Russia, drug Angioks (Bivalirudin), which has the same efficiency as well-known drugs, but is more safe.
