Timing of Stent Thrombosis in Patients Treated with Tirofiban. Retrospective analysis of a single-center intervention database between January1997 and October 1999 . 13 patients identified with acute or subacute stent thrombosis The median time from stent deployment to ST was 7 hours (IQR, 2.5-33 hours) in patients not receiving a GPIIb/IIIa antagonist compared to 84.5 hours (IQR, 56-124.5 hours) in patients receiving one.

HORIZONS Review Did the dose of clopidogrel impact outcomes?
Clopidogrel 300mg versus 600mg • The impact of bivalirudin was independent of the clopidogrel loading dose. Interaction P values = 0.48 (NACE) 0.41 (Major bleeding), and 0.75 (MACE). • Significant decrease in MACE in patients treated with 600mg versus 300mg clopidogrel Dangas et al, JACC 2009
Optimising outcomes with bivalirudin • Early adjunctive therapy Early adjunctive therapy with guideline recommended therapies (which should include aspirin and clopidogrel and may include UFH) was associated with a reduced rate of AST in both arms of HORIZONS • Adequate PY12 inhibition Treatment with Clopidogrel 600 mg vs. 300mg resulted in improved MACE in both arms Prasugrel 60 mg may be better than clopidogrel • Prolonged bivalirudin infusion A post PCI infusion of bivalirudin at 0.25/mg/kg infusion for up to 4 hours does not increase bleeding (BAT) and does not affect sheath pull times (AFRICA) Prolonged antithrombin therapy until such time that P2Y12 inhibition is effective may further reduce AST

Conclusion • In HORIZONS-AMI the significant reductions in cardiac-related death at 30-days, 1-year and 2-years are important. • For every 59 patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI with bivalirudin compared to conventional therapies one cardiac related death might be avoided (NNT= 59 at 1 yr). • The important implications of the HORIZONS study are now reflected in the recently updated ACC/AHA guidelines for the management of patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI where bivalirudin received a (Class IB) recommendation [Kushner et al., 2009]. • In conclusion, the favourable risk–benefit profile of bivalirudin, make it clinically important alternative to current treatments for the contemporary management of STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI.
