NCT01519518

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare unfractionated heparin (UFH) and bivalirudin in the performance and subsequent outcomes of Primary percutaneous coronary intervention. This will be a pragmatic trial. Interventional procedures will be performed to reflect current and evolving standards, including predominant radial access. All patients will be treated with routine oral anti-platelet therapy pre-procedure. GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors will be reserved for 'bail out' treatment only.
