Abstract
Abstract
Background
This prospective, multi-center, intensive monitoring study aimed to systematically assess the occurrence of adverse events (AEs) and adverse drug reactions (ADRs), especially thrombocytopenia and bleeding, as well as their risk factors in Chinese ST-segment elevation myocardial infraction (STEMI) patients receiving bivalirudin as anticoagulant for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods
In total, 1244 STEMI patients undergoing PCI and receiving bivalirudin as anticoagulant were enrolled in the present study. Safety data were collected from hospital admission to 72 h after bivalirudin administration; in addition, patients were further followed up at the 30th day with safety data collected at that time.
Results
AEs, severe AEs, ADRs and severe ADRs were reported in 224 (18.0%), 15 (1.2%), 49 (3.9%) and 5 (0.4%) patients, respectively. Importantly, 4 (0.3%) patients were submitted to hospitalization and 6 (0.5%) patients died due to AEs, while 1 (0.1%) patient was submitted to hospitalization but no (0.0%) patient died due to ADRs. Meanwhile, thrombocytopenia and bleeding occurred in 24 (1.9%) and 21 (1.7%) patients, respectively. Further multivariate logistic analysis identified several important independent factors related to AEs, ADRs, thrombocytopenia or bleeding, which included history of cardiac surgery and renal function impairment, high CRUSADE risk stratification, elective operation and combination with glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors. Moreover, 4 multivariate models were constructed based on the above-mentioned factors, which all showed acceptable predictive value for AEs, ADRs, thrombocytopenia and bleeding, respectively.
Conclusion
Bivalirudin is a well-tolerant anticoagulant in Chinese STEMI patients undergoing PCI procedure.
