    Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare anti-factor Xa assay and tromboelastogram in evaluation of efficacy of enoxaparin in patients with acute coronary syndrome without ST-segment elevation. Materials and Methods: Twenty-five patients with acute coronary syndrome were involved. Two blood samples were taken on admission and 4 hours after the subcutaneous injection of third dose of 1mg/kg enoxaparin to the patients. AntiFXa, tromboelastogram, activated coagulation time were calculated. Results: A non-significant increase in activated coagulation time was observed after the injection of enoxaparin. After injection enoxaparin thromboelastography parameters changed maximum amplitude(MA) increased (MA basal 65.4 +/- 11.9 after 63.4 +/- 7.8), R time increased (from 5 +/- 1.7 to 8.4 +/- 4.6,), K time increased (from 1.89 +/- 1.06 to 2.56 +/- 1.4), angle increased (from 66.34 +/- 5.6 to 57.9 +/- 11.4). AntiFXa increased. (from 0.122 +/- 0.06 to 0.501 +/- 0.359). Conclusion: Tromboelastography method can be used in assessment of efficacy of enoxaparin in patients with acute coronary syndrome without ST-Segment elevation.
