“…Therefore, no significant 6 Cardiovascular Therapeutics difference in our study was found between bivalirudin and heparin due to the limited sample size, which led to a low event number of ST. Recently, the newest BRIGHT-4 study with a total sample size of more than 6000 patients with STEMI showed that bivalirudin with a prolonged infusion post-PCI significantly decreased the rate of ST compared with heparin, indicating that bivalirudin has a substantial effect on preventing ST, to some extent, settled down this dispute [20]. Several limitations should be acknowledged in the present study.…”

“…Similarly, in a pooled analysis of the REPLACE-2, ACUITY, and HORIZONS-AMI trials, bivalirudin was associated with reduced 1-year mortality in patients with DM [19]. Moreover, the most recently published randomized trial, the BRIGHT-4 study, found that bivalirudin with a prolonged infusion significantly reduced the 30-day mortality of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing PCI in comparison with heparin monotherapy [20]. The lower rate of death associated with bivalirudin use in patients with DM may have several explanations.…”

“…The 2010 European Guidelines for myocardial revascularization also recommended that bivalirudin be the first choice in PCI for patients with ACS (Class I recommendation). Recently, a study from China showed that routine continuation of full-dose bivalirudin infusion for 2–4 h (mean 3 h) post-PCI is superior to UFH monotherapy in reducing bleeding and ischemic events at 30 days among patients with STEMI undergoing PPCI [ 16 ]. Bivalirudin has become a commonly used anticoagulant in emergency and elective PCI [ 17 ].…”

“…Bivalirudin is a direct thrombin inhibitor with a short half-life and a significant reduction in bleeding complications. [51] In the MATRIX trial, 7213 ACS patients (56%of STEMI) were enrolled, bivalirudin significantly reduced the risk of bleeding compared to UFH, at the cost of an increased risk of thrombosis in the stent. [52] The ESC guidelines recommend its use in patients with STEMI (IIa, A), especially those at high-risk of bleeding.…”
