Bivalirudin Is Associated With Improved In-Hospital Outcomes Compared With Heparin in Percutaneous Vascular Interventions: Observational, Propensity-Matched Analysis From the Premier Hospital Database Peripheral Vascular Disease
Conclusions— In patients undergoing peripheral vascular interventions, procedural anticoagulation with bivalirudin may result in more favorable in-hospital outcomes compared with unfractionated heparin, the current standard of care. These observations will require prospective confirmation in a randomized, controlled trial.

Impact of Arterial Access Site on Outcomes After Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Prespecified Subgroup Analysis From the EUROMAX Trial Coronary Interventions
Conclusions— In this prespecified analysis from EUROMAX, radial access was preferred in lower risk patients and did not improve clinical outcomes. Bivalirudin was associated with less bleeding irrespective of access site. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT01087723.

Hemorrhagic and Ischemic Outcomes After Bivalirudin Versus Unfractionated Heparin During Carotid Artery Stenting: A Propensity Score Analysis From the NCDR Peripheral Vascular Disease
Conclusions— Bivalirudin was associated with lower rates of hemorrhagic outcomes compared with UFH during the index hospitalization for carotid artery stenting. In-hospital and 30-day ischemic events were similar between the 2 groups. Randomized comparisons of these agents are needed to confirm these findings.
