Combination 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 کاملAngiographically evident thrombus following fibrinolytic therapy is associated with impaired myocardial perfusion in STEMI: a CLARITY-TIMI 28 substudy.
AIMS The presence of residual thrombus following fibrinolytic therapy for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) may predispose to greater embolization and microvascular dysfunction. METHODS AND RESULTS We hypothesized that even in the presence of a patent epicardial artery, residual thrombus would be associated with worsened TIMI myocardial perfusion grades (TMPG), independent of...
متن کاملCombination therapy for acute myocardial infarction.
Three years ago, the combination of a fibrinolytic agent given in a reduced dose, and a glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa antagonist was trumpeted as a “great equalizer,” with the potential to bring the success rates for pharmacologic reperfusion regimens into line with those observed for mechanical reperfusion regimens. The promise was obvious. More rapid restoration of coronary flow and more stable ...
متن کاملLeft ventricular thrombus in acute myocardial infarction.
Catastrophic morbidity or mortality from cardiogenic cerebral embolism occurs in approximately 2000 cases each year in the Netherlands'. Left ventricular thrombus after myocardial infarction is a source of such emboli which is largely preventable by systemic anticoagulation. However, anticoagulants induce a bleeding risk and must be given only when the risk of embolism is increased''. Two-dimen...
متن کاملRheolytic therapy combined with intragraft abciximab for treatment in acute myocardial infarction.
After coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, patients can present with challenging lesions in the setting of acute coronary syndrome, particularly with high clot burden. Techniques including thrombectomy and local delivery of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors have been utilized for these saphenous venous graft lesions. We report a case involving a post-CABG patient presenting with an acute...
