  Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the antithrombotic effect and safety of Bivalirudin compared with heparin plus Tirofiban in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). Methods: One hundred and twenty elderly patients were randomly assigned to receive two different antithrombotic therapies (Group A: Bivalirudin alone or Group B: Heparin plus Tirofiban) in a 1:1 ratio according to the treatment sequence and a table of random numbers. The clinical information, routine examination results, infarct-related sites of the enrolled patients were recorded, and the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow grade and other safety indexes after PCI were analyzed. Results: No statistically significant differences existed in ST-segment depression at 2 h after the intervention, post- PCI TIMI flow grade and.. View More»
