The aim of this study is to determine how two different types of iodinated contrast media (CM) agents, low-osmolar ionic ioxaglate and iso-osmolar non-ionic iodixanol, affect specific markers of thrombogenesis and platelet function in patients undergoing coronary angiography, and if the use of bivalirudin, a direct thrombin inhibitor used during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), affects any contrast-related changes in thrombogenesis and platelet function.

Thrombin Generation Test: Baseline
The thrombin generation test uses recombinant tissue factor as a stimulus to initiate thrombin generation in plasma samples. The outcome from this assay is reported as area under the curve and represents the amount of thrombin in each sample. The curve is created by measuring the generated thrombin every 20 seconds from 0 to 95 minutes post stimulus.
Time frame: baseline
Thrombin Generation Test: After Coronary Angiography
The thrombin generation test uses recombinant tissue factor as a stimulus to initiate thrombin generation in plasma samples. The outcome from this assay is reported as area under the curve and represents the amount of thrombin in each sample. The curve is created by measuring the generated thrombin every 20 seconds from 0 to 95 minutes post stimulus.
