Bivalirudin vs Heparin in NSTEMI and STEMI in Patients on Modern Antiplatelet Therapy in SWEDEHEART

Summary

In this trial we test the hypothesis that PCI and bivalirudin is superior to heparin alone (according to local protocol) in reducing death, MI, and major bleeding in patients with NSTEMI or STEMI at 180 days (primary end point), treated with ticagrelor or prasugrel.
