Abstract

Fondaparinux was associated with reduced major bleeding events and improved survival compared with low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) in a large randomized clinical trial involving patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Large-scale experience of the use of fondaparinux vs LMWH in a nontrial setting is lacking.
