Popis: Aim: To compare the safety and efficacy of Enoxaparin (EX) and Fondaparinux (FD) in patients with Unstable Coronary Artery Disease (UCAD). Materials and Methods: A prospective, open label, randomized comparative study was designed to study the comparative efficacy and safety of EX and FD in UCAD patients. Recovery, recurrence, major and minor bleeding and biochemical investigations were evaluated and compared among two arms. Results: The baseline demographic characteristics were similar in both groups, with mean age of 56.05 and 56.05 years in EX and FD group respectively. Recovery was equal in two arms. Recurrent MI or angina was seen numerically more in EX group, but it did not statistically vary from that in the FD group. Incidence of haemorrhage was similar in both groups at 9 days, but at 30 days, EX showed a higher incidence (p
