Comparison between the effect of intracoronary bolus of tirofiban versus eptifibatide as adjunctive antiplatelet therapy on the outcome of primary coronary intervention in patients with acute anterior ST segment elevation myocardial infarction

Comparison between the effect of intracoronary bolus of tirofiban versus eptifibatide as adjunctive antiplatelet therapy on the outcome of primary coronary intervention in patients with acute anterior ST segment elevation myocardial infarction

Background: Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has been shown to be the preferred reperfusion strategy. Adjunctive GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors improve the outcome in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percut...
