Erratum to: Intern Emerg Med DOI 10.1007/s11739-013-1037-4

The authors would like to correct the editing error in the original publication of Letter to the Editor. The value found in the second column, first paragraph, 0.5 mg/kg should be corrected to 0.75 mg/kg.

The line should read as:

Considering the evidence of a high intracoronary thrombotic burden, an i.v. bolus of bivalirudin (0.75 mg/kg) followed by infusion (1.75 mg/kg/h) was started and a manual thrombus aspiration was performed (Fig. 1b).
