Eptifibatide is noninferior to abciximab in primary percutaneous coronary intervention: results from the SCAAR (Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry).
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to test the noninferiority of eptifibatide relative to abciximab in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). BACKGROUND Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors are recommended by international guidelines in patients with acute coronary syndromes undergoing PCI. Abciximab is rec...
متن کاملRandomized COMparison of Platelet Inhibition With Abciximab, TiRofiban and Eptifibatide During Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Acute Coronary Syndromes
Background—The relative anti-aggregatory effects of currently prescribed platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists during and after percutaneous coronary intervention for acute coronary syndromes have not been established. Methods and Results—We randomized 70 acute coronary syndrome patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention to receive abciximab, eptifibatide, or tirofiban...
متن کاملAbciximab reduces mortality in diabetics following percutaneous coronary intervention.
OBJECTIVES We sought to determine whether abciximab therapy at the time of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) would favorably affect one-year mortality in patients with diabetes. BACKGROUND Diabetics are known to have increased late mortality following PCI. METHODS Data from three placebo-controlled trials of PCI, EPIC, EPILOG, and EPISTENT, were pooled. The one-year mortality rate fo...
متن کاملLong-term mortality benefit with abciximab in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.
OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to test: 1) if platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GP IIb/IIIa) blockade with abciximab bolus plus 12-h infusion reduces mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI); 2) if prevention of early myocardial infarction (MI) after PCI is a mechanism for reducing mortality; and 3) for risk factors for mortality after PCI. BACKGROUND Studies of PCI sugge...
متن کاملComparison between Intracoronary Abciximab and Intravenous Eptifibatide Administration during Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention of Acute ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
BACKGROUND Administration of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors is an effective adjunctive treatment strategy during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Recent data suggest that an intracoronary administration of these drugs can increase the efficacy of PPCI. This study was done to find any potential difference in terms of effi...
