Long-term impact of chronic kidney disease in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention: the HORIZONS-AMI (Harmonizing Outcomes With Revascularization and Stents in Acute Myocardial Infarction) trial
This study sought to investigate the impact of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with different antithrombotic strategies.

Summary: | This study sought to investigate the impact of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with different antithrombotic strategies.
CKD is associated with increased risk of adverse ischemic and hemorrhagic events after primary PCI for STEMI.
HORIZONS-AMI (Harmonizing Outcomes With Revascularization and Stents in Acute Myocardial Infarction) trial was a multicenter, international, randomized trial comparing bivalirudin monotherapy or heparin plus a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor (GPI) during primary PCI in STEMI. CKD, defined as creatinine clearance |
