Anticoagulation with heparin The art of simplicity even in patients on dialysis

Key Points

• In current PCI practice, anticoagulation with either bivalirudin or unfractionated heparin in patients with ACS share comparable efficacy and safety.
• Nonetheless, their individual performance in patients on dialysis remains unclear.
• This observational PCI study reported in-hospital clinical outcome in patients on dialysis undergoing PCI according to drug regimen: bivalirudin versus heparin.
• Similar clinical outcome was observed with both drug regimens.
