Brief Summary

HYPOTHESES 1. Bolus administration of total abciximab dose provides superior maximal and mean platelet aggregation inhibition (PAI) compared with standard bolus (0.25 mg/kg) administration. 2. Total ...

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES AND END-POINTS The objectives of the present study are to assess the benefits and safety of 1) a single bolus of abciximab (100% dose) compared with the standard bolus (ca 80% of the total ...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Patient with acute myocardial infarction eligible for primary PCI within 6 h of symptoms: patient must have prolonged, continuous (lasting at least 20 minutes) signs and symptoms of ischemia not eliminated with nitrates and onset within 6 h of randomization, and one of the following:
  • ST-segment elevation ≥ 2 mm in 2 or more contiguous precordial ECG leads (anterior infarction)
  • ST-segment depression ≥ 2 mm in V1, V2 or V2, V3 with reciprocal 1 mm ST-elevation in II, augmented unipolar foot (left leg) lead (AVF), and V6 (true posterior infarction)
  • ST-segment elevation ≥ 1 mm in 2 or more contiguous limb ECG leads (other infarction)
  • New or presumably new left bundle branch block (LBBB)
  • Patient must be \> 18 years of age.
  • Patient and treating interventional cardiologist agree for randomization.
  • Patient will be informed of the randomization process and will sign an informed consent.
  • Diagnostic and therapeutic intervention performed through trans-radial/ulnar artery approach.
  • The culprit lesion can be identified on a native coronary vessel, which is suitable for primary PCI with stent implantation.

Exclusion

  • Patient has received thrombolytic therapy (within the last 4 weeks) and is referred for rescue PCI
  • Concurrent participation in other investigational study
  • Femoral sheath (artery)
  • Intolerance or allergy to ASA, clopidogrel or ticlopidine precluding treatment for at least 12 months
  • Any significant blood dyscrasia, diathesis or INR \> 2.0
  • Any clinical contraindication to abciximab (ReoPro®) administration i.e. known structural intracranial lesion, thrombocytopenia \< 100,000, active or recent bleeding or hemoglobin level known \< 10 g/dl.
  • Any glycoprotein IIb-IIIa inhibitors use in the previous 30 days
  • Uncontrolled high blood pressure i.e. systolic blood pressure ≥ 180 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 100 mmHg.
  • Life expectancy less than 6 months owing to non-cardiac cause
  • Infarction caused by in-stent thrombosis or restenosis
  • Cardiogenic shock evident before randomization
