Safety and Efficacy of Low-dose Heparin during Intracranial Angioplasty and Stent placement: a randomized, double-blind, controlled study of 2000 IU versus 3000 IU bolus heparin
ISRCTN ISRCTN48605341
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier
Public title Safety and Efficacy of Low-dose Heparin during Intracranial Angioplasty and Stent placement: a randomized, double-blind, controlled study of 2000 IU versus 3000 IU bolus heparin
Scientific title
Acronym SELHIAS
Serial number at source 2004BA714B-7
Study hypothesis H0: low-dose heparin (2000 IU) group has more thromboembolus complications and similar intracranial bleeding complications compared with standard-dose of heparin (3000 IU) group during intracranial angioplasty and stent placement.

H1: low-dose heparin (2000 IU) group has fewer intracranial bleeding complications and similar thromboembolus complications compared with standard-dose of heparin (3000 IU)group during intracranial angioplasty and stent placement.
