PG - 75-6 LID - 10.3109/17482941003732741 [doi] AB - Bivalirudin is a direct thrombin inhibitor that seems to be a promising anticoagulation treatment in patient with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We discuss several issues that were raised from the use of Bivalirudin during primary PCI.
