3. In diabetic patients undergoing PCI the use of platelet glycoprotein (Gp) IIb/IIIa inhibitors reduce short- and long-term mortality 1-3 Contemporaty guidelines recommend platelet Gp IIb/IIIa inhibitors administration in diabetic patients undergoing elective and urgent PCI 4-5 Background 1 Roffi M. et al.

4. Bivalirudin is a direct thrombin inhibitor that demonstrated antiplatelet and anti-inflammatory properties similar to the combination of unfractionated heparin (UFH) plus Gp IIb/IIIa inhibitors 1-2 Unlike UFH, bivalirudin 3-4 does not activate platelets is able to interfere with both circulating and clot-bound thrombin when added to clopidogrel, it achieves additional inhibition of platelet function decreasing platelet surfage coverage Background 1 Keating FK. et al.

5. Few data exist comparing bivalirudin with UFH plus GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors in diabetic patients Post-hoc analysis of REPLACE-2 and ACUITY 1-2 no difference in short and long-term ischemic events lower rate of major bleeding Background 1 Gurm HS. et al.

22. Conclusions In diabetic patients undergoing elective PCI the antithrombotic strategy of bivalirudin monotherapy compared with unfractionated heparin plus tirofiban is safe and feasible. Antithrombotic regimen with bivalirudin alone suppresses adverse 30-day ischaemic events to a similar extent as does unfractionated heparin plus tirofiban. Bivalirudin administration compared with unfractionated heparin plus tirofiban is associated with a reduction of bleeding. Bivalirudin administration, compared with unfractionated heparin plus tirofiban, results in a significant decrease of the composite end-point of 30-day death, urgent revascularization, myocardial infarction and bleeding.
