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 ...

Eptifibatide and abciximab inhibit insulin-induced focal adhesion formation and proliferative responses in human aortic smooth muscle cells [PDF]
Background The use of abciximab (c7E3 Fab) or eptifibatide improves clinical outcomes in diabetics undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. These β3 integrin inhibitors antagonize fibrinogen binding to αIIbβ3 integrins on platelets and ligand ...

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.

Acute Stent Thrombosis Associated with Eptifibatide-Induced Profound Thrombocytopenia [PDF]
Background. Eptifibatide is an inhibitor of the platelet glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptor that is commonly used in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Case.

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.

Eptifibatide provides additional platelet inhibition in Non–ST-Elevation myocardial infarction patients already treated with aspirin and clopidogrel Results of the platelet activity extinction in Non–Q-Wave myocardial infarction with aspirin, clopidogrel, and eptifibatide (PEACE) study [PDF]
ObjectivesThe present study hypothesis was that eptifibatide offered further antiplatelet efficacy above clopidogrel in non–ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients before an expeditive coronary intervention.BackgroundAlthough thienopyridines

Critical Analysis of Thrombocytopenia Associated With Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibitors and Potential Role of Zalunfiban, a Novel Small Molecule Glycoprotein Inhibitor, in Understanding the Mechanism(s) [PDF]
Thrombocytopenia is a rare but serious complication of the intravenous glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GPIIb/IIIa; integrin αIIbβ3) receptor inhibitors (GPIs), abciximab, eptifibatide, and tirofiban. The thrombocytopenia ranges from mild (50 000–100 000 platelets/

There is no difference in safety and efficacy with Tirofiban or Eptifibatide for patients undergoing treatment of large vessel occlusion and underlying intracranial atherosclerosis [PDF]
Background: Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor use in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) during mechanical thrombectomy (MT) and acute stenting and angioplasty is a topic consistently debated due to concerns over safety and efficacy.
