AB  - Bivalirudin failed to show a superior “net clinical benefit” compared with unfractionated heparin (UFH) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention in the Intracoronary Stenting and Antithrombotic Regimen-Rapid Early Action for Coronary Treatment 3 [ISAR-REACT 3] trial. However, bivalirudin reduced the rate of major and minor bleeding events in this patient population.
