Unfractionated heparin versus bivalirudin in primary percutaneous coronary intervention (HEAT-PPCI): an open-label, single centre, randomised controlled trial
Adeel Shahzad,Ian Kemp,Christine Mars,Keith S. Wilson,Claire Roome,Robert Cooper,Mohammed Andron,Clare Appleby,Michael Fisher,Aleem Khand,Babu Kunadian,Joseph D. Mills,John L. Morris,William Morrison,Shahzad Munir,Nicholas D. Palmer,Raphael A. Perry,David R. Ramsdale,Periaswamy Velavan,Rod Stables +19 more
TL;DR: Compared with bivalirudin, heparin reduces the incidence of major adverse ischaemic events in the setting of PPCI, with no increase in bleeding complications.

Ahmed Masoud,Ahmed Masoud,Stefano Bartoletti,Timothy Fairbairn,Ayush Khurana,Periaswamy Velavan,William Morrison,Afshin Khalatbari,Suneil Aggarwal,Nikhill Sharma,Paulus Kirchhof,Dhiraj Gupta +11 more
TL;DR: LAA occlusion may be a reasonable option for stroke prevention in high-risk patients with atrial fibrillation ineligible for anticoagulation, however, procedural complication rates are not insignificant, and patients remain at risk of serious adverse events and death even after successful implant.
