N Engl J Med. 2008; Steg PG et al. N Engl J Med. 2013] have documented the superiority of bivalirudin over heparin in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), a third study showed heparin to be associated with fewer major adverse ischemic events with no increase in bleeding [Shahzad A et al. Lancet. 2014]. This article presents the results of the Bivalirudin in Acute Myocardial Infarction vs Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa and Heparin trial [BRIGHT; NCT01696110] in which bivalirudin monotherapy led to better 30-day and 1-year outcomes in these patients compared with heparin monotherapy or heparin plus tirofiban.</style></abstract><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">30</style></number><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">14</style></volume></record></records></xml>
