International normalized ratio measurement during perioperative anticoagulation bridging with low-molecular-weight heparin in patients undergoing heart valve replacement surgery
Differences between INR methods are seen within 72 hours after restarting VKA in postoperative patients who receive LMWH bridging. <i>In vitro</i> experiments using LMWH and UFH show the interference of heparin in multiple INR methods, even with concentrations below the suppliers' stated heparin interference limits.
