Don't Bridge Patients Most Afib Patients With Enoxaparin

You'll see LESS use of "bridging" with low-molecular-weight heparin (enoxaparin, etc) in warfarin patients.

Up to 1 in 6 patients are bridged when warfarin is temporarily stopped before a procedure...hoping to prevent thrombosis or stroke.

But evidence from the new BRIDGE trial will be a game changer. It suggests that bridging does more harm than good in many patients.
