Utilization of eptifibatide for treatment of severe dissections as a bail-out procedure

Utilization of eptifibatide for treatment of severe dissections as a bail-out procedure

Background: It has been shown in several large trials that the inhibition of glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptors of platelets can reduce the rate of ischemic complications following percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). We sought to determine the efficacy of eptifibatide in patient...

Zusammenfassung:Background: It has been shown in several large trials that the inhibition of glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptors of platelets can reduce the rate of ischemic complications following percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). We sought to determine the efficacy of eptifibatide in patients with severe dissections or threatened vessel closure after PTCA in small coronary arteries (
