Abstract

Data from the 5 large randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials that used glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty were pooled for a total of 10,691 patients. We found that the use of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors in percutaneous coronary interventions significantly decreases the need for unplanned stenting for abrupt closure.
