Efficacy and safety of tirofiban-supported primary percutaneous coronary intervention in patients pretreated with 600 mg clopidogrel: results of propensity analysis using the Clinical Center of Serbia STEMI Register

摘要

Background:Studies with platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor inhibitors (GPIs) showed conflicting results in primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) patients who were pretreated with 600 mg clopidogrel. We sought to investigate the short- and long-term efficacy and safety of the periprocedural administration of tirofiban in a largest Serbian PPCI centre.
