Abstract |
In the setting of acute coronary syndromes, thrombotic embolization and activation of platelets with release of vasoconstrictors into the downstream microvasculature may occur before cardiac catheterization. In the Treat Angina with tirofiban and determine Cost of Therapy with an Invasive or Conservative Strategy-Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction 18 (TACTICS-TIMI 18) trial angiographic substudy, a shorter duration of tirofiban infusion before percutaneous coronary intervention was associated with impaired myocardial perfusion before and after intervention.
