Bivalirudin with Prolonged Infusion During PCI Versus Heparin After Fibrinolytic Therapy
Sponsor: First Affiliated Hospital Xi'an Jiaotong University
Summary
This multicenter, randomized controlled trial in China aims to enroll 2,400 patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) within 24 hours post-fibrinolysis. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either bivalirudin or heparin, with follow-up at 30 days and 1 year. The primary endpoint is a composite of all-cause mortality and Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) type 3 or 5 bleeding at 30 days.

Interventions
Bivalirudin
For rescued PCI, do not recommend to include patient who's ACT is more than 350s. If fibrinolysis is successful, monitor ACT and wait till it's lower than 350s before randomization. Monitor ACT before angiography, (1) if ACT\<180, bivalirudin 0.75 mg/kg intravenous bolus loading dose, and immediately followed by intravenous infusion of 1.75 mg/kg/h until 2-4 hours after PCI; (2) if 180s\<ACT\<225s, bivalirudin 0.5mg/kg intravenous bolus loading dose, and immediately followed by intravenous infusion of 1.75 mg/kg/h until 2-4 hours after PCI; (3) if ACT\>225s, bivalirudin intravenous infusion of 1.75 mg/kg/h until 2-4 hours after PCI. (4) ACT be monitored 5 minutes after the first administration, and if ACT is \<225 s, intravenous injection of 0.3 mg/kg of bivalirudin should be administered, and the ACT re-checked to ensure it is \>225 seconds.
Unfractionated heparin
(1)If ACT\<180s, administer an intravenous bolus of unfractionated heparin at 70 U/kg before coronary angiography, with a maximum total dose of 6000U. (2)If 180\<ACT\<225s, administer an intravenous bolus of unfractionated heparin at 60 U/kg before coronary angiography, with a maximum total dose of 4000U. (3)If ACT\>225s, proceed directly with PCI and maintain 225s\<ACT\<350s.
