Combination reperfusion therapy with abciximab and reduced dose reteplase: results from TIMI 14. The Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) 14 Investigators.
Aims Abciximab has previously been shown to enhance thrombolysis and improve myocardial perfusion when combined with reduced doses of alteplase. The purpose of the reteplase phase of TIMI 14 was to evaluate the effects of abciximab when used in combination with a reduced dose of reteplase for ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Methods and Results Patients (n=299) with ST-elevation myocardial i...
متن کاملCombination therapy with abciximab reduces angiographically evident thrombus in acute myocardial infarction: a TIMI 14 substudy.
BACKGROUND Use of abciximab in combination with administration of thrombolytics has been shown to improve epicardial and microvascular coronary blood flow in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). As a potential mechanism, we hypothesized that combination therapy would reduce angiographically evident thrombus (AET) and would increase lumen diameter compared with thrombolytic monotherapy. METHODS ...
متن کاملAbciximab improves both epicardial flow and myocardial reperfusion in ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Observations from the TIMI 14 trial.
BACKGROUND In the presence of ST-elevation myocardial infarction, patients with successful epicardial reperfusion (TIMI 3 flow) but persistent ST elevation on a 12-lead ECG are at high risk for subsequent death and left ventricular dysfunction. In the TIMI 14 trial, a dose-ranging angiographic study, combined therapy with abciximab plus reduced-dose tPA enhanced the speed and efficacy of epicar...
متن کاملAbciximab facilitates the rate and extent of thrombolysis: results of the thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) 14 trial. The TIMI 14 Investigators.
BACKGROUND The TIMI 14 trial tested the hypothesis that abciximab, the Fab fragment of a monoclonal antibody directed to the platelet glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptor, is a potent and safe addition to reduced-dose thrombolytic regimens for ST-segment elevation MI. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients (n=888) with ST-elevation MI presenting <12 hours from onset of symptoms were treated with aspirin...
متن کاملPrognostic implication of activated partial thromboplastin time after reteplase or half-dose reteplase plus abciximab: results from the GUSTO-V trial.
AIMS To evaluate the relationship between activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and clinical outcomes in the Global Use of Strategies to Open Occluded Coronary Arteries (GUSTO-V) trial comparing standard-dose reteplase to half-dose reteplase and abciximab. METHODS AND RESULTS We analysed data on 11,420 patients receiving unfractionated heparin. Peak aPTT levels recorded during the hosp...
