Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors use in the setting of primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST elevation myocardial infarction in patients pre‐treated with newer P2Y12 inhibitors

Objectives We sought to investigate the safety and potential benefit of administrating glycoprotein IIb‐IIIa inhibitors (GPIs) on top of more potent P2Y12 inhibitors. Background A number of clinical trials, performed at a time when pretreatment and potent platelet inhibition was not part of routine...

Description
Summary:Objectives We sought to investigate the safety and potential benefit of administrating glycoprotein IIb‐IIIa inhibitors (GPIs) on top of more potent P2Y12 inhibitors. Background A number of clinical trials, performed at a time when pretreatment and potent platelet inhibition was not part of routine clinical practice, have documented clinical benefits of GPI in ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients at the cost of a higher risk of bleeding. Methods We used the data of a prospective, ongoing registry of patients admitted for STEMI in our center. For the purpose of this study only patients presenting for primary percutaneous coronary intervention and pretreated with new P2Y12 inhibitors (prasugrel or ticagrelor) were included. We compared patients who received GPI with those who did not. Results Eight hundred twenty‐four STEMI patients were included in our registry; GPIs were used in 338 patients (41%). GPI patients presented more often with cardiogenic shock and Thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade
