This analysis is of post-randomization outcomes Study Limitations This analysis is of post-randomization outcomes The ACUITY PCI sub-study was under-powered for subgroup comparisons All analyses should be considered hypothesis generating
Conclusions and Clinical Implications In patients with moderate and high risk ACS undergoing PCI Bivalirudin alone results in similar 1 year mortality to UFH/enoxaparin plus GP IIb/IIIa inhibition regardless of patient risk, prior antithrombin therapy and clopidogrel exposure Switching from UFH or enoxaparin to bivalirudin enables patients to achieve significant reductions in bleeding at 30 days and similar mortality at 1 year These results substantiate the strong relationship between bleeding complications and late mortality in PCI patients
