TY - JOUR AU - Elgendy, Islam Y. AU - Capodanno, Davide PY - 2017 TI - Heparin versus bivalirudin for percutaneous coronary intervention: has the debate come to an end? JF - Journal of Thoracic Disease; Vol 9, No 11 (November 29, 2017): Journal of Thoracic Disease (Quantitative Imaging of Thoracic Diseases) Y2 - 2017 KW - N2 - Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the cornerstone of management for patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) (1-6). Anticoagulation is routinely administered during PCI in order to minimize the risk of thrombotic events. However, the choice of anticoagulation should be balanced with the risk of bleeding.
