Argatroban (Argatra ®) ist ein intravenös verabreichter, direkter Thrombininhibitor, der reversibel am katalytischen Zentrum des Thrombinmoleküls bindet und auch thrombusgebundenes Thrombin hemmt. Die in Deutschland zugelassene Indikation ist die Prophylaxe und Therapie von Thrombosen bei Patienten mit Heparin-induzierter Thrombozytopenie (HIT) Typ II. Eine Ausweitung der Indikationsgebiete bei Patienten ohne HIT z. B. im Bereich der interventionellen Kardiologie wird gegenwärtig erforscht. Hintergrund hierbei ist es, aufgrund der kurzen Halbwertszeit Argatroban als gut steuerbaren Ersatz für unfraktioniertes Heparin (UFH) zu etablieren. Die Therapie mit Argatroban kann durch die aPTT oder die Ecarinzeit überwacht werden.
