Safety and Efficacy of Bivalirudin During Short-term Intervention of Non-infarction Related Artery After PPCI of STEMI

Not Applicable

• Conditions: STEMI With Multivessel Coronary Disease
• Interventions: Drug: Heparin; Drug: Bivalirudin

• Registration Number: NCT04475835
• Lead Sponsor: First Affiliated Hospital Xi'an Jiaotong University

Brief Summary

This is a randomized, open label, cohort study, in which a total of 100 patients will be enrolled and randomly assigned to receive bivalirudin or heparin in a 1:1 ratio during short-term intervention of non-infarction related artery for acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction after emergency percutaneous coronary intervention.

NACE, MACE, any type of BARC bleeding, stent thrombosis will be evaluated in 30 days and 6 months after recruitment.

Detailed Description

The 2017 guideline gives a class IIA recommendation ('should be considered') for complete revascularisation in patients presenting with STEMI and multivessel disease, which is approximately 50% of the STEMI population. Staged multivessel PCI during hospitalization (3-5 days after PPCI) is common in contemporary practice.

Patients undergoing primary PCI should receive enhanced antithrombotic therapy, includes DAPT and and parenteral anticoagulant, which caused an increased bleeding risk. In addition, repeated use of heparin in a short time may increase the incidence of HIT. Direct thrombin inhibitor bivalirudin, demonstrated a reduced risk of bleeding and an overall favorable profile including reduced NACE.

This is a randomized, open label, cohort study, which is aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of bivalirudin during short-term intervention of non-infarction related artery for acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction after emergency percutaneous coronary intervention.
