Effect of direct thrombin inhibition with Bivalirudin (Hirulog) on restenosis after coronary angioplasty
1998
: The direct antithrombin, bivalirudin, did not reduce angiographic restenosis measured either as the dichotomous restenosis rate of 62% for bivalirudin and 58% for heparin (p = 0.70), or as the late loss in lumen diameter of 0.44 +/- 0.47 mm for bivalirudin and 0.39 +/- 0.53 mm for heparin (p = 0.62). Direct thrombin inhibition with bivalirudin neither reduces angiographic restenosis nor alters the impact of several established risk factors for restenosis.
