Abstract
To analyze the effects on coagulation function and safety of bivalirudin and heparin in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and provide clinical evidence for their application. A total of 42 patients with coronary heart disease undergoing PCI treatment from July 2019 to January 2022 at Datong Third People's Hospital in China were divided into 2 groups: the bivalirudin group and the heparin group. The former received perioperative administration of bivalirudin, while the latter received heparin. After 24 hours of treatment, blood indicators, coagulation functions, as well as cardiac, hepatic, and renal markers were evaluated. Additionally, Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow graded infarct-related vessel blood flow was assessed in both groups. Adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events were monitored for a duration of 12 months. The Activated clotting time (ACT), D-dimer (D-D), and prothrombin time (PT) levels in the bivalirudin group were significantly lower than those in the heparin group (P < .05). Both the bivalirudin and heparin groups showed significant improvement in TIMI flow grade after PCI (P < .05). The levels of Creatine Kinase-MB (CK-MB), N-terminal Pro-B-type Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) in the bivalirudin group were significantly lower than those in the heparin group (P < .05). There were no serious adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in either group. Bivalirudin has a slightly superior impact on coagulation function and safety profile in patients undergoing PCI compared to heparin, and the preventive effect of both on postoperative cardiovascular events is similar.
