BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES • Major bleeding is a significant complication of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). • Major bleeding is associated with increased 30-day mortality and ischemic event rates. • Bivalirudin alone results in lower rates of major bleeding vs. heparin + GPI strategies. • We evaluated the impact of major bleeding on 1-year outcomes in patients with ACS from the ACUITY Trial.

CONCLUSIONS • 645 patients (4.7%) had major bleeding by 30 days. • Major bleeding is an independent predictor of one-year mortality and is associated with increased rates of ischemic events at one year in patients with ACS. • Treatment with bivalirudin monotherapy significantly lowers rates of bleeding compared to treatment with heparin + GPI.
