Supports pre- or intra-procedural sampling for hemostatic studies after hematocrit correction; leaves open whether post-procedural changes alter clinical management.
Do coronary angiography and angioplasty influence parameters of hemostasis and fibrinolysis?
Blood samples for fibrinolysis investigations can be reliably drawn on the day before or the day of CAG/PTCA if corrected for hematocrit, but samples taken the day after are not useful due to significant parameter changes.
Six et al. (1990) studied this question.
