The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of intracoronary abciximab and intravenous eptifibatide in percutaneous coronary intervention of myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation. Inclusion criterion is acute myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation according to clinical, laboratory, and ECG findings. Exclusion criteria are presentation after 12 hours of symptoms onset, those with spastic angina (resolution of ST segment elevation and alleviation of symptoms after intravenous nitroglycerine administration), those with non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction, history of stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage, contraindication for platelet administration, and cardiogenic shock. Forty STEMI patients were randomized to either intracoronary abciximab or intravenous eptifibatide. Abciximab dosage was 0.25 µg/kg. In another group two boluses (each 180 µg/kg) of eptifibatide were administered every 10 minutes. Outcomes assessed are infarct size, myocardial reperfusion, TIMI grade after intervention, repeated infarction, hemorrhage, and death.
