Profound thrombocytopenia after primary exposure to eptifibatide
Eptifibatide is a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonist used to reduce the incidence of ischemic events in patients with acute coronary syndromes and those undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. A minority of patients given eptifibatide develop acute, profound thrombocytopenia (<20,000 cells/mm(3)) within a few hours of receiving the drug. This case report discusses a patient who de...
متن کاملAcute Stent Thrombosis and Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia in a Patient With ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Heparin is an essential drug in the treatment of acute coronary syndrome and it is used during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), albeit a serious complication of heparin therapy characterized by thrombocytopenia and high risk for venous and arterial thrombosis, has rarely been previously reported during PCI. We report a case of an acute stent thro...
متن کاملAcute Stent Thrombosis and Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia: Another Manifestation of Kounis Syndrome?
Stent thrombosis is regarded today as a multifactorial life threatening condition. Immunological evidence incriminating antigens, such as stent nickel, metal strut, polymer coating and eluted drugs, accompanying the necessary treatment with aspirin and clopidogrel, combined with environmental exposures seems to constitute the most important factor. There are some bizarre, astonishing, peculiar ...

متن کاملEarly Profound Secondary Autoimmune Thrombocytopenia Induced by Clopidogrel in a Patient with a Coronary Artery Stent
Clopidogrel in combination with aspirin is commonly used for the prevention of thrombosis in patients with coronary artery stents [1]. moreover, since being introduced clopidogrel has proven to be very safe, tolerable, and efficacious [2]. Indications for clopidogrel use are expanding, and include reduction of such cardiovascular events as myocardial infarction and stroke in appropriate patient...
