Optimisation of antithrombotic therapy in patients with acute coronary syndrome to reduce bleeding episodes

ConclusionThe multidisciplinary programme has been effective in reducing bleeding episodes. The interventions were effective in reducing antithrombotic drugs overdosage, incorporating the use of fondaparinux to the NSTE‐ACS therapeutic arsenal, limiting the use of bivalirudin with abciximab and obtaining body weight for most patients.
