1. A Prospective, Randomized Comparison of Bivalirudin vs. Heparin Plus Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibitors During Primary Angioplasty in Acute Myocardial Infarction – One Year Results – Roxana Mehran MD For the HORIZONS-AMI Investigators

2. Background Numerous studies have demonstrated a strong association between hemorrhagic complications and subsequent mortality in pts with ACS and after PCI Numerous studies have demonstrated a strong association between hemorrhagic complications and subsequent mortality in pts with ACS and after PCI In the HORIZONS-AMI trial, among high risk pts with STEMI undergoing primary PCI, randomization to bivalirudin monotherapy compared to UFH + GPI resulted in reduced rates of bleeding, thrombo- cytopenia, and blood transfusions; non significantly different rates of reinfarction, stent thrombosis and TVR; and improved survival at 30 days In the HORIZONS-AMI trial, among high risk pts with STEMI undergoing primary PCI, randomization to bivalirudin monotherapy compared to UFH + GPI resulted in reduced rates of bleeding, thrombo- cytopenia, and blood transfusions; non significantly different rates of reinfarction, stent thrombosis and TVR; and improved survival at 30 days Whether these benefits are maintained at 1-year is unknown Whether these benefits are maintained at 1-year is unknown

32. Conclusions In this large scale, prospective, randomized trial of pts with STEMI undergoing a primary PCI management strategy, bivalirudin monotherapy compared to UFH plus the routine use of GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors resulted in: In this large scale, prospective, randomized trial of pts with STEMI undergoing a primary PCI management strategy, bivalirudin monotherapy compared to UFH plus the routine use of GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors resulted in: –Significant 31% and 43% reductions in the 1-year rates of all-cause and cardiac mortality (absolute 1.4% and 1.7% reductions), with non significantly different rates of reinfarction, stent thrombosis, stroke and TVR at 1-year

33. Clinical Implications HORIZONS has demonstrated that the prevention of hemorrhagic complications after primary PCI in STEMI results in improved early and late survival HORIZONS has demonstrated that the prevention of hemorrhagic complications after primary PCI in STEMI results in improved early and late survival –Optimal drug selection and technique to minimize bleeding are essential to enhance outcomes for pts undergoing interventional therapies
