Brief summary

The study is an investigator-sponsored, prospective, multicenter, randomized, open-label study designed to compare efficacy and safety between bivalirudin and heparin in elderly patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing emergency PCI.

Interventions

DRUGBivalirudin

Patients would be given anticoagulant therapy with bivalirudin in acute STEMI during emergency PCI operation.

DRUGHeparin

heparin with or without gpi during emergency PCI.
