Background: The ACUITY Trial (N=13819)Major Bleeding in ACS and PCI • Major bleeding is a significant complication of non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). • Recent data suggest that major bleeding is associated with an increase in adverse outcomes in ACS and PCI, including mortality. • We evaluated the impact of major bleeding on short-term mortality and ischemic events in patients with moderate and high-risk NSTE-ACS undergoing an invasive strategy.

Methods: The ACUITY Trial (N=13819)Study Design and Definitions • The ACUITY Trial was a randomized comparison of: (1) bivalirudin alone (BIV), (2) heparin or enoxaparin + glycoprotein inhibition (H+GPI), (3) BIV + glycoprotein inhibition (BIV+GPI), in moderate and high-risk NSTE-ACS. • Major bleeding (non-CABG-related) was defined as: intracranial, intraocular, or retroperitoneal; access site bleed with intervention; hematoma >5cm; Hgb drop >3g/dL with source or >4g/dL without source; or transfusion.

Results: The ACUITY Trial (N=13819)Major Bleeding (Non-CABG Related) in ACS • 644 (4.7%) of 13819 patients had major bleeding. • Patients with major bleeding were (p<0.05): • older, more likely to be female, of lower body weight, and have diabetes, hypertension, and impaired creatinine clearance, • more likely to present with elevated cardiac biomarkers or as high-risk (ST-changes or elevated biomarkers), • less likely to use tobacco and have prior PCI. • Major bleeding was less frequent in patients treated with: • Bivalirudin vs. Heparin(s) + GPI (3.0% vs. 5.7%, p<0.0001), • Bivalirudin vs. Bivalirudin + GPI (3.0% vs. 5.3%, p<0.0001). • Major bleeding was associated with higher 30-day mortality and ischemic event rates.

Conclusion: The ACUITY Trial (N=13819)Major Bleeding in Patients with ACS • Major bleeding is associated with increased short-term mortality and ischemic event rates. • Bivalirudin results in lower rates of major bleeding compared to GPI-based strategies. • An increased risk of major bleeding is associated with: • baseline factors: age, female gender, chronic kidney disease, anemia, hypertension, no prior PCI; • presentation factors: high-risk presentation; • treatment factors: treatment with heparin(s) + GPI. • Knowledge of these findings is important in the assessment of the hemorrhagic risk of, and decision-making for each patient. • Prevention of major bleeding is essential in order to minimize rates of short-term mortality and ischemic events in NSTE-ACS.
