N2 - In patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) triaged to primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), anticoagulation often is initiated in the ambulance during transfer to a PCI site. In this prehospital setting, bivalirudin has not been compared with standard-of-care anticoagulation. In addition, it has not been tested in conjunction with the newer P2Y12 inhibitors prasugrel or ticagrelor.
