Impact of maintenance dose of eptifibatide in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention [PDF]
Background ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is usually caused by a rupture in the atherosclerotic plaque, followed by platelet aggregation which ultimately leads to acute coronary artery occlusion.

Administration of eptifibatide as rescue therapy during mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke [PDF]
BackgroundThe success of the technical implementation of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) depends on many factors. Considering the experience of the interventional radiologist and the anatomical vascular differences of individual patients, it has technical ...

A woman with eptifibatide (integrilin)‐induced thrombocytopenia following treatment of a clot in her coronary artery: A case report and literature review [PDF]
Eptifibatide, a GPIIb/IIIa receptor inhibitor, has shown its efficacy and safety in patients with high clot burden in their coronary vessels. It is widely used in patients with this condition.

Addition of eptifibatide and manual thrombus aspiration to ticagrelor does not improve long-term survival after STEMI treated with primary PCI [PDF]
Background: Current guidelines recommend that glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor (GPI) and manual aspiration thrombectomy should not be routinely used in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated by primary percutaneous ...

Acute Profound Thrombocytopenia Induced by Eptifibatide Causing Diffuse Alveolar Hemorrhage
Background. Eptifibatide is a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GP IIb/IIIa) receptor inhibitor which prevents platelet activation. The mechanism in which eptifibatide causes profound thrombocytopenia is poorly understood. One hypothesis suggests antibody-dependent

Early recovery of microvascular perfusion induced by t-PA in combination with abciximab or eptifibatide during postischemic reperfusion [PDF]
Background GPIIb/IIIa inhibitors abciximab and eptifibatide have been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation in ischemic heart disease. Our aim was to test the efficacy of abiciximab (Reo Pro) or eptifibatide (Integrilin) alone or in combination with ...
