MATRIX: Superioridad del acceso radial al año

ESC 2018 | MATRIX: 1-Year Superiority of Transradial Access

ESC 2018 | MATRIX: 1-Year Superiority of Transradial Access

Transradial access should be the access of choice in patients with acute coronary syndrome, while bivalirudin has not shown any benefit for this population. The long-term follow-up from the MATRIX (Minimizing Adverse Hemorrhagic Events by Transradial Access Site and Systemic Implementation of Angiox) trial confirms the results at 30 days: transradial access is here to stay

VALIDATE-SWEDEHEART: la bivalirudina pierde cada vez más terreno

VALIDATE-SWEDEHEART: bivalirudin seems to be losing ground

Another important work that does not see the benefits of bivalirudin over heparin as monotherapy as regards both efficacy (death and MI) and safety end points (bleeding) in patients undergoing acute myocardial infarction with and without  ST elevation. The study VALIDATE-SWEDEHEART, presented at ESC, simultaneously published in the New England Journal of Medicine, randomized 6000 patients

Transradial access shows no benefit of bivalirudin

The aim of this study was to compare bivalirudin against heparin in patients with ST elevation acute myocardial infarction undergoing transradial primary PCI.   Both bivalirudin and the transradial access are strategies aimed at reducing bleeding complications in patients undergoing acute MI. However, the benefit of their combined use is not year clear. Even though

Bivalirudin reduces bleeding rate in carotid stenting

Courtesy of Dr. Carlos Fava Bivalirudin has been shown to reduce bleeding in carotid stenting and maintain its efficacy. Even though carotid stenting has shown benefits, these remain unclear.   With this in mind, four studies were analyzed (one randomized) including 7,784 patients undergoing carotid stenting with unfractioned heparin vs. bivalirudin.   No difference was

Cardiovascular Events Reduction: Bivalirudin or Heparin?

The MATRIX study did not find a clear advantage of bivalirudin over unfractioned heparin to reduce major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) or net cardiovascular adverse events (NCAE) in patients undergoing acute coronary syndrome receiving PCI.   This new analyzis confirms there is no difference in ischemic and thrombotic events in patients with acute coronary syndrome

No Extra Benefit for Combined Use of Bivalirudin and Transradial Approach

The aim of this meta-analyzis was to study the relation between bivalirudin and access site in patients undergoing acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Both bivalirudin and the transradial access site are strategies aiming at reducing bleeding complication in patients with ACS undergoing invasive approaches. The interaction of both strategies and the potential benefits of their combined use

New Meta-Analysis Shows Similar Mortality between Bivalirudin and Heparin

This meta-analyzis of contemporary studies comparing the safety and efficacy of bivalirudin vs. heparin showed no differences in mortality between the two drugs and, consistently with other studies, bivalirudin was associated with an increased risk of acute stent thrombosis. During ACC 2015, the MATRIX study did succeed in showing global differences between the two drugs
