Bivalirudin, sold under the brand names Angiomax and Angiox, is a medication used during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).[1] It can be used in people with heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT).[1] It is given by injection into a vein.[1]

Common side effects include bleeding.[1] Safety in pregnancy is unclear.[1] It is a direct thrombin inhibitor (DTI) and a manufactured version of hirudin.[1][2]

Bivalirudin was approved for medical use in the United States in 2000.[1] While it was approved in Europe in 2004, this approval was subsequently withdrawn.[3] It is available as a generic medication.[2] In the United States 250 mg costs about 115 USD as of 2022.[4]
