Study summary

Prolonging infusions may decrease myocardial damage associated with bivalirudin use during primary PCI. The investigators hypothesized that continuing the bivalirudin infusion commenced during the procedure at the PCI recommended dose for 4 hours would prevent myocardial damage.

Read the detailed description

Bivalirudin is widely used as an anticoagulant during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary heart disease. Prolonging infusions may decrease myocardial damage associated with bivalirudin use during primary PCI . However, whether prolonging infusions of bivalirudin could prevent ischemic complications is unknown. The investigators examined the effects of prolonged drug infusion after elective PCI. The investigators hypothesized that continuing the bivalirudin infusion commenced during the procedure at the PCI recommended dose for 4 hours would prevent myocardial damage.

    Bivalirudin was given as a bolus of 0.75mg/kg followed by infusion of 1.75mg/kg/h during the PCI procedure .

    Drug: bivalirudin

  • Experimental
    prolong infusion bivalirudin

    Bivalirudin was given as a bolus of 0.75mg/kg followed by infusion of 1.75mg/kg/h during the PCI procedure and prolong for 4 hours after procedure.

    Drug: bivalirudin

Interventions

  • Drugbivalirudin

    Bivalirudin is an alternative to heparin in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.

  • DrugHeparin

    Heparin is used in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.
