PG - 543-548 LID - 10.3760/cma.j.issn.0253-3758.2018.07.007 [doi] AB - Objective: To investigate the efficacy of periprocedural use of bivalirudin for patients with chronic total occlusion(CTO) lesion undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) therapy. Methods: In this randomized controlled study, 74 patients with CTO lesions confirmed by coronary angiography or CT angiography, hospitalized in the general hospital of Shenyang military region from September 2015 to December 2016, were randomly divided into unfractionated heparin(UFH) group (n=38) and bivalirudin group (n=36) by the random number table.Patients in the UFH group were treated with injection of UFH 5 000 U through the artery sheath catheter before coronary angiography,and the UFH was intravenously administered at 100 U/kg before PCI. Patients in the bivalirudin group received intravenous injection of bivalirudin (0.75 mg/kg) before coronary angiography, followed by intravenous infusion of 1.75 mg.kg(-1).h(-1) until at least 2 hours after the PCI. The values of the activated coagulation time (ACT) were measured,and the value was remained at 250 to 350 seconds during the PCI. The incidence rate of adverse events including hemorrhage events, no-reflow/slow flow, and contact thrombus in perioperative period were observed in all patients. In addition, the incidence rate of the major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) including recurrent angina, heart failure, target vessel revascularization, cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction,and stroke within 1 year follow-up period were also observed in the 2 groups. Results: Baseline clinical and PCI data were similar between the 2 groups (all P>0.05). During the perioperative period, the incidence of the bleeding was significantly lower in the bivalirudin group than in the UFH group(5.6% (2/36) vs. 23.7% (9/38) , P=0.028).The incidence of no-reflow/slow flow was also significantly lower in the bivalirudin group than in the UFH group(0 vs. 15.8% (6/38) , P=0.025). There was no significant difference in the incidence of contact thrombosis between bivalirudin group and UFH group(8.3% (3/36) vs. 0, P=0.110). There was no cardiac death or non-fatal myocardial infarction in the 2 groups within 1 year after PCI, and there was no significant difference in the incidence of MACE in 1 year follow-up after operation between bivalirudin group and UFH group (11.1% (4/36) vs. 21.1% (8/38) , P=0.246). Conclusion: The application of the anticoagulant bivalirudin during PCI in patients with CTO lesion can reduce the incidence of perioperative bleeding and no-reflow/slow flow, and does not increase the risk of MACE within 1 year after PCI.
