Clot Disaggregation Following IC Eptifibatide: Pre-PCI Angiogram Pinto et al, Am J Cardiol 2006
Retrospective Experience with IC Eptifibatide 59 patients treated with unbuffered IC eptifibatide: TIMI Grade 3 flow in >90% of patients following PCI Normal TIMI myocardial perfusion grade 3 flow (TMPG 3) present in 54.4% of patients following PCI (range 20%-25% in past) There were no in-hospital deaths, reinfarctions, or TIMI major bleeding events No arrhythmias during IC eptifibatide administration Pinto et al, Am J Cardiol 2006
