Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES AND END-POINTS The objectives of the present pilot study are to assess 1) the benefits and safety of abciximab i.c. or i.v. compared to placebo in rescue PCI and trans-radial approach, 2) ...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Patient with acute myocardial infarction eligible for rescue PCI within 24 hrs of symptoms.
  • Failed thrombolysis (defined as less than 50% reduction of ST-elevation at 90 min ECG in the lead with previous maximal ST-segment elevation).
  • Patient \> 18 years old.
  • 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 transradial/transulnar approach.
  • The culprit lesion in a native coronary artery can identified and is suitable for immediate angioplasty and stent implantation.

Exclusion

  • Age \> 75 years old
  • Body weight \< 65 kg
  • Concurrent participation in other investigational study
  • Intolerance or allergy to ASA, clopidogrel or ticlopidine precluding treatment for 12 months
  • Any significant blood dyscrasia, diathesis or INR \> 2.0.
  • Any clinical contraindication to abciximab administration i.e. known structural intracranial lesion, thrombocytopenia (\< 100,000), hemoglobin level \< 10 g/dl
  • Patient has received more than one dose of thrombolytic within 24 hours of symptoms
  • Previous treatment with glycoproteins IIb-IIIa inhibitors within 30 days
  • Perceived increased risk of intracranial or severe bleeding i.e. previous stroke/TIA, alteration of consciousness, recent trauma or major surgery.
  • 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
  • Evident cardiogenic shock
