BEST: Bivalirudin in Elderly Patients With Acute ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The study is an investigator-sponsored, prospective, multicenter, randomized, open-label study designed to compare efficacy and safety between bivalirudin and heparin in elderly patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing emergency PCI.

---|---|
Experimental: Bivalirudin Bivalirudin will be given as a bolus of 0.75 mg/kg followed by infusion of 1.75 mg/kg/h during the PCI procedure and for at least 30 minutes but no more than 4 hours afterwards. Following this mandatory infusion,a reduced-dose infusion (0.2 mg/kg/h) for up to 20 hours could be administered at physician discretion. An additional bivalirudin bolus of 0.3 mg/kg was given if the activated clotting time 5 minutes after the initial bolus was less than 225 seconds. |
Drug: Bivalirudin
Patients would be given anticoagulant therapy with bivalirudin in acute STEMI during emergency PCI operation.
|
Active Comparator: Heparin Heparin will be administered at a dose of 70 to 100 units per kilogram in patients not receiving glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors and at a dose of 50 to 70 units per kilogram in patients receiving glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors. Subsequent adjustment of the heparin dose on the basis of the activated clotting time will be left to the discretion of the treating physicians. |
Drug: Heparin
heparin with or without gpi during emergency PCI.
