In patients with non–ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), the rates of mortality and ischaemic events appear to be comparable following procedural anticoagulation with bivalirudin vs heparin, although bivalirudin is associated with fewer serious bleeding events, according to the results of a meta-analysis.
