Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa antagonists
The role of GP IIb/IIIa antagonists has been focused on patients with acute coronary syndromes undergoing PCI. In the ISAR-REACT 2 study abciximab given in patients with NSTEACS undergoing PCI already treated with 600 mg clopidogrel improved 30-day death and reinfarction rate in troponin positive patients. In the large EARLY-ACS trial upstream therapy with eptifibatide in high risk with NSTE-AC...
متن کاملPlatelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa antagonists: pharmacology and clinical developments.
PLATELETS are critical for normal hemostasis and thrombus formation. Thrombus formation initiated by platelets plays a central role in the pathogenesis of acute coronary syndromes (unstable angina and myocardial infarction). Platelets are involved in events causing angioplasty failure and stent thrombosis and may also play an important role in restenosis through the release of potent prothrombo...
متن کاملPlatelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists in cardiovascular disease.
CONTEXT Thrombus formation on disrupted atherosclerotic plaque is the major cause of acute coronary events. Platelet inhibitors are the mainstay of drug therapy to reduce cardiac events in patients with acute coronary syndromes. The platelet glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptor is the final common pathway of platelet aggregation. OBJECTIVES To review mechanisms of platelet activation and aggre...
متن کاملLong-term efficacy of platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa integrin blockade with eptifibatide in coronary stent intervention.
CONTEXT In the Enhanced Suppression of the Platelet IIb/IIIa Receptor with Integrilin Therapy (ESPRIT) trial, treatment with eptifibatide, a platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa integrin blocker, was found to reduce the ischemic complications of nonurgent coronary stent implantation at 48 hours and 30 days. OBJECTIVE To determine whether eptifibatide treatment continues to provide durable, long-ter...
متن کاملPlatelet Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibitors
Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GPIIb-IIIa) complexes (integrin aIIbb3) mediate platelet aggregation by binding fibrinogen or von Willebrand factor (vWF), protein cofactors that form bridges between adjacent platelets. The cross-linked adhesive proteins assemble platelets into the aggregate. Agents that block the function of the GPIIb-IIIa complex of platelets constitute a powerful new generation of ant...
