New strategies for profound inhibition of platelet activity at the injured coronary plaque focus on blockade of the platelet surface membrane glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor, which binds circulating fibrinogen or von Willebrand factor and crosslinks platelets as the final common pathway to platelet aggregation. Intravenous agents directed against this receptor include the chimeric monoclonal antibody fragment abciximab, the peptide inhibitor eptifibatide and nonpeptide mimetics tirofiban and lamifiban. Over 33,000 patients have been evaluated in 11 large-scale, placebo-controlled trials of these agents. During percutaneous coronary intervention, an absolute reduction of 1.5% to 6.5% in the 30-day risk of death, myocardial infarction or repeat urgent revascularization has been observed, with some variability in treatment effect among the agents tested (abciximab, eptifibatide and tirofiban). Treatment effect is achieved early with every modality of revascularization and is maintained over the long-term (up to three years). Increased bleeding risk may be minimized by reduction and weight-adjustment of concomitant heparin dosing. In the acute coronary syndromes without ST segment elevation, absolute 1.5% to 3.2% reductions in 30-day rates of death or myocardial (re-) infarction have been achieved with two to four day courses of eptifibatide or tirofiban. Clinical benefit accrues during the period of drug infusion and is durable. Treatment effect may be enhanced among patients undergoing early coronary revascularization, with evidence of stabilization before intervention and suppression of postprocedural ischemic events. Thus, blockade of the platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor reduces ischemic complications when used as an adjunct to percutaneous coronary intervention or the management of acute ischemic syndromes. 相似文献

Coronary thrombosis and the risk of clinical adverse events remains high despite considerable advances in the management of
acute coronary syndromes (ACS) with the combined use of aspirin, heparin, fibrinolytic therapy, and percutaneous coronary
intervention (PCI). Platelet aggregation and thrombosis play a key role in the pathogenesis of unstable coronary syndromes.
Over the past several years, multiple placebocontrolled trials involving more than 50,000 ACS patients have shown that blockade
of the platelet receptor glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa, the final pathway in platelet aggregation, reduces the incidence of ischemic
complications among patients with ACS. Three agents (abciximab, eptifibatide, and tirofiban) are currently approved for use
with aspirin and heparin in the management of ACS or during percutaneous coronary intervention. They have consistently been
shown to reduce the incidence of death or myocardial infarction in the ACS population including the patients not routinely
scheduled for early revascularization. They provide an augmented treatment effect among high-risk ACS patients, particularly
those who have a baseline troponin-t-positive status. Recently published practice guidelines have recommended their use in
high-risk patients with ACS and all those undergoing PCI. 相似文献

Platelet aggregation plays a central role in the ischemic complications of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) and the acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Although aspirin and heparin have been effective at decreasing adverse events in these settings, the perceived need for more potent inhibition of platelet aggregation has led to targeting of the platelet surface membrane glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GP IIb/IIIa) receptor. Several agents have been developed; four: abciximab, tirofiban, eptifibatide, and lamifiban have been tested in clinical trials. Overall, the positive findings of these studies have supported the hypothesis that enhanced platelet blockade leads to improved clinical outcomes in the settings of PCI and ACS. In this article, an overview of the various GP IIb/IIIa receptor inhibitors is presented. The clinical trials of these agents as adjunctive therapy for patients undergoing PCI and in treatment of acute myocardial infarction are reviewed. Practical considerations relating to clinical efficacy, drug safety, and economic issues are discussed. 相似文献

Understanding of the pivotal role of the platelet surface membrane glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptor in platelet aggregation at the injured coronary plaque in acute coronary syndromes has led to recent pharmacologic strategies that focus on inhibition of this final common pathway. Several intravenous medications directed specifically at this receptor (called platelet GP IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists; GPAs) have emerged. These include the human-murine chimeric monoclonal antibody Fab fragment abciximab, the peptide antagonist eptifibatide and the peptidomimetics tirofiban and lamifiban. To date, over 33,000 patients have been studied with these compounds in 11 large, randomized placebo controlled trials which have established the effectiveness of these drugs in conditions where platelet aggregation and thrombosis play major contributing roles such as in high-risk coronary intervention, myocardial infarction and unstable angina. GPAs have been proven to be effective in reducing ischemic complications when used as an adjunct to percutaneous coronary revascularization or the management of acute ischemic syndromes. They are well tolerated and safe, provided concomitant use with other antithrombotics (e.g. heparin) is carefully managed and platelet counts are monitored. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Trials testing intravenous platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa antagonists in the setting of percutaneous coronary revascularization and empirically during acute coronary syndromes have consistently demonstrated a reduction in ischemic events. These trials, however, have varied regarding patient population, type, duration and timing of IIb/IIIa therapy, adjunct therapies, and methods for collection and adjudication of end points. All trials were placebo-controlled, and none involved a direct comparison of IIb/IIIa inhibitors. Whether these agents produce a similar clinical outcome in the contemporary practice of coronary interventions is uncertain. METHODS AND RESULTS: To evaluate the efficacy of tirofiban in patients undergoing percutaneous revascularization with stent placement, a randomized, multicenter, double-blind, double-dummy, abciximab-controlled study is currently underway. All patients will receive preprocedural clopidogrel, weight-adjusted heparin, and aspirin. In 18 countries, 4750 patients undergoing nonemergency percutaneous coronary revascularization will be studied. The primary end point will be the composite 30-day occurrence of death, myocardial infarction, or urgent target vessel revascularization. Secondary end points will include 6-month death, myocardial infarction, or any myocardial revascularization and 1-year death. CONCLUSION: This is the first large-scale, head-to-head comparison of 2 established IIb/IIIa inhibitors in interventional cardiology. Enrollment is expected to be complete by mid-2000. 相似文献

Coronary thrombosis is a pivotal event in the pathogenesis of acute coronary syndromes and ischemic complications resulting from coronary intervention. Activation of the platelet glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptor is the final common pathway leading to platelet aggregation, coronary thrombus formation, and myocardial ischemia. Inhibitors of platelet GP IIb/IIIa are potent agents to prevent progression to myocardial infarction and death. We prospectively surveyed the indications, frequency, and complications associated with the use of GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors in percutaneous coronary intervention in a tertiary center setting. A total of 170 patients underwent screening over a period of 6 weeks. One hundred four (61%) had coronary intervention, out of which eight (8%) had failed intervention. Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors were used in 57 (55%) patients; 47 (45%) did not have any agent periprocedure. Eptifibatide was the most commonly used agent in 35 (33%), followed by abciximab in 19 (18%) and tirofiban in 3 (3%). Out of 57 patients in whom GP IIb/IIIa agents were used, 22 (38%) had visible intracoronary thrombus, 22 (38%) had diffuse disease, 8 (14%) had complex intervention, and 5 (9%) had diabetes. The overall incidence of complications was not increased by the use of GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors; serious complications were rare with the use of GP IIb/IIIa agents; no stroke, thrombocytopenia, gastrointestinal bleed, or death was recorded. The overall use in emergency settings was not associated with increased complications. Bradycardia and vomiting were more common with abciximab group, whereas puncture site pain was commoner in eptifibatide group. 相似文献

AIMS: To assess the efficacy of platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors in patients with acute coronary syndromes primarily medically managed. METHODS AND RESULTS: We performed a meta-analysis of the randomized clinical trials of platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor therapy in the medical management of non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes. Among 29570 patients, IIb/IIIa integrin blockade was associated with a reduction in death or non-fatal myocardial infarction at 30 days, from 11.5% to 10.7% (odds ratio 0.91,P =0.02). Patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention during index hospitalization sustained a greater reduction in ischaemic events (odds ratio 0.82, P=0.01) than patients medically managed (odds ratio 0.95, P=0.27). Among patients undergoing intervention, the benefit was more pronounced if the procedure was performed during glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor infusion (odds ratio 0.74; P=0.02), than if revascularization was performed after drug discontinuation (odds ratio 0.87,P =0.17). CONCLUSION: This analysis, including the entire large-scale trial experience of intravenous glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors in patients with acute coronary syndromes primarily medically managed, demonstrates an overall significant, albeit moderate, reduction in 30-day death or myocardial infarction associated with therapy. Although not based on a prospectively defined hypothesis, the findings suggest a gradient of benefit conferred by these agents depending on the revascularization strategy used. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: This analysis sought to investigate the complementary effect of thienopyridine pretreatment and platelet glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa integrin blockade in coronary stent intervention. BACKGROUND: Definitive evidence supporting combined antiplatelet therapy consisting of thienopyridine pretreatment and GP IIb/IIIa receptor blockade in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation is limited. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed clinical outcomes by thienopyridine use in the 2,040 patients randomized to eptifibatide or placebo who underwent PCI in the ESPRIT trial. RESULTS: A total of 901 patients received a loading dose of thienopyridine before PCI (group 1), 123 received thienopyridine pretreatment without a loading dose (group 2), and 1,016 were not treated with thienopyridine before PCI (group 3). The composite incidence of death or myocardial infarction at 30 days was significantly lower in group 1 than in groups 2 and 3 combined (OR, 0.71 [95%CI, 0.52-0.99]; P = 0.0417). A similar trend was seen for the composite of death, myocardial infarction, or urgent target vessel revascularization (unadjusted OR, 0.77 [0.57-1.05]; P = 0.1025). After adjusting for baseline characteristics, these differences were no longer significant. No interactions were identified with eptifibatide assignment for any of the group comparisons. CONCLUSIONS: Pretreatment with a loading dose of thienopyridine lowers the rate of ischemic complications regardless of treatment with a GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor. Conversely, the efficacy of eptifibatide is maintained whether or not a loading dose of a thienopyridine is administered. Optimal outcomes are achieved in patients receiving thienopyridine pretreatment along with platelet GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor therapy. 相似文献

Platelet glycoprotein (GP)IIb/IIIa inhibitors prevent fibrinogen binding and platelet aggregation. Inhibition of platelet activity at the injured coronary plaque is a target for novel therapeutic strategies. They decrease ischemic complications associated with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes and percutaneous coronary intervention. Thrombocytopenia is a serious complication well described with the use of the prototype GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor abciximab. Its association with other agents of this class has been underemphasized. It is important to monitor platelet counts closely after initiation of GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor therapy, not only for abciximab, but also for small molecule inhibitors such as eptifibatide and tirofiban. Monitoring of platelet counts at 2 to 6 hours and 24 hours will detect most cases of acute thrombocytopenia. Adverse events may be prevented by prompt discontinuation of GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor therapy. The authors present a case of profound thrombocytopenia after the administration of tirofiban in the treatment of a patient with an acute coronary syndrome. 相似文献

Platelet glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa inhibitors prevent fibrinogen binding and platelet aggregation. They decrease ischemic complications associated with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes and percutaneous coronary intervention. Meta-analyses of 6 randomized trials of parenteral GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors in patients with acute coronary syndromes suggest a significant reduction in death and myocardial infarction in high risk patients. These include patients undergoing early percutaneous coronary intervention or those with high TIMI risk score, elevated troponin values, or diabetes mellitus. Despite guideline recommendations supporting therapy for these indications, only a minority of appropriate candidates are being treated. The risk of major bleeding is small; thrombocytopenia can result from abciximab therapy. Optimal dosing strategies continue to evolve. 相似文献

Platelets have been shown to play an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, acute coronary syndromes, and ischemic complications after percutaneous coronary intervention. Fibrinogen binding via platelet surface glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptors constitutes the "final pathway" in platelet aggregation leading to thrombus formation. The GP IIb/IIIa receptor inhibitors, a new class of antiplatelet agents that have emerged in recent years, show great promise in reducing complications of coronary angioplasty and acute coronary syndromes. This review will examine the biology of platelet GP IIb/IIIa receptors, the various classes of GP IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists, the results of the latest clinical trials, and their implications in current clinical practice. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: We sought to determine the safety and efficacy of high-dose bolus (HDB) tirofiban in high-risk patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). BACKGROUND: The use of HDB tirofiban in the catheterization laboratory is controversial. In particular, in patients with acute coronary syndromes undergoing PCI, there is no evidence that tirofiban administered in the catheterization laboratory is superior to heparin alone. This finding probably reflects the suboptimal platelet inhibition when tirofiban is employed at RESTORE (Randomized Efficacy Study of Tirofiban for Outcomes and Restenosis) regimen. METHODS: A total of 202 patients (mean age 69 +/- 8 years; 137 males [68%]) undergoing high-risk PCI, pretreated with thienopyridines, were consecutively randomized to HDB tirofiban (25 microg/kg/3 min, and infusion of 0.15 microg/kg/min for 24 to 48 h) or placebo immediately before the procedure and then followed for a median time of 185 days (range 45 to 324 days) for the occurrence of the primary composite end point of death, myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization (TVR), and bailout use of glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa inhibitors. RESULTS: The cumulative incidence of the primary end point was 35% and 20% in placebo and HDB tirofiban groups, respectively (hazard ratio 0.51, 95% confidence interval 0.29 to 0.88; p = 0.01). This difference was mainly due to the reduction of myocardial infarction and bailout use of GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors, with no significant effect on TVR or death. The safety profile did not differ between tirofiban and placebo. CONCLUSIONS: The use of tirofiban, when administered at HDB, is safe and significantly reduces the incidence of ischemic/thrombotic complications during high-risk PCI. 相似文献

The primary pathophysiologic mechanism underlying all non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE ACS) is the formation of platelet-rich coronary thrombi in response to spontaneous or intervention-induced endothelial damage with exposure of subendothelial substrates. Antagonists of the glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptor ameliorate this process by blocking the final common pathway for platelet aggregation. Based upon collective data in over 24,000 patients, clinical trials have demonstrated that treatment of NSTE ACS patients with GP IIb/IIIa agents results in an approximate 12% relative risk reduction in the incidence of death or myocardial infarction at 30 days. The magnitude of this clinical benefit is increased in patients who are troponin-positive and who are referred for early percutaneous intervention. Potential benefits of GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor use must be weighed against an increased risk of bleeding. Ongoing controversies exist concerning the relative efficacy of different GP IIb/IIIa antagonists, the accurate use of platelet function tests to define safe and efficacious drug dosing, the adjunctive use of additional anti-thrombotic agents, and the optimal timing of upstream therapy before diagnostic cardiac catheterization and revascularization. 相似文献

Platelet glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists are being used with increasing frequency in the settings of percutaneous coronary interventions and acute ischemic syndromes. The development of bleeding complications following GPIIb/IIIa blockade represents a significant limitation to its effectiveness. Baseline characteristics predictive of future bleeding events in patients receiving platelet GPIIb/IIIa receptor antagonist include older age, low body weight, evolving myocardial infarction, and female sex. In patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions with adjunctive GPIIb/IIIa inhibition, the risk of bleeding, particularly from the femoral vascular access site, may be reduced through the use of low-dose, weight-adjusted heparin (70 U/kg), avoidance of postprocedural heparin, and early vascular sheath removal. Strategies to reduce the incidence of bleeding complications in patients receiving GPIIb/IIIa inhibitors are proposed in this article. 相似文献

Postmortem and angiographic studies have demonstrated that thrombosis is the primary cause of coronary artery occlusion in smokers. Further, smokers have high levels of fibrinogen, increased platelet aggregation, and more platelet-dependent thrombin generation than do nonsmokers, suggesting that glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa inhibitor use during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) may be especially useful among smokers. We evaluated a subpopulation of active smokers in the REPLACE-2 trial to assess the effect of treating smokers with bivalirudin and provisional GP IIb/IIIa blockade compared with heparin and planned GP IIb/IIIa blockade. The REPLACE-2 trial enrolled 1,558 smokers and 4,305 nonsmokers. Smokers who were treated with bivalirudin had an absolute 3.2% increase in the composite end point of death and myocardial infarction at 48 hours compared with smokers who were treated with heparin and GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors (7.7% vs 4.5%, p=0.008, interaction p=0.016). This difference was ameliorated when GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors were used consistently in a previous trial that compared bivalirudin with heparin during PCI (4.6% vs 6.7%, p=0.322). In conclusion, these results suggest that smokers may derive particular benefit with GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors for decreasing myocardial infarction and death after PCI. These findings require further validation from other large, randomized trials. 相似文献

Three platelet glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists have been evaluated in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). One of these agents, abciximab, is structurally and pharmacologically quite different from the other 2, eptifibatide and tirofiban. We conducted a meta-analysis to determine whether different antagonist types achieved different clinical outcomes, possibly related to their structural differences. Odds ratios (OR) were calculated and a random effects model was used to combine the outcomes of 14,644 patients enrolled in 8 prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials assessing treatment with a GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor to prevent ischemic complications of PCI. Neither abciximab (OR 0.69; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.4 to 1.9) nor eptifibatide or tirofiban treatment (OR 0.74; 95% CI 0.4 to 1.28) resulted in reductions in mortality. Only the abciximab-treated patients had reductions in myocardial infarction (4.3% vs 8.5%, OR 0.49; 95% CI 0.40 to 0.59). There was no effect of eptifibatide or tirofiban on myocardial infarction (OR 0.85; 95% CI 0.69 to 1.04). Urgent revascularization was reduced in both abciximab-treated (2.7% vs 6.2%, OR 0.42; 95% CI 0.34 to 0.53) and eptifibatide- and tirofiban-treated (4.2% vs 5.5%, OR 0.76; 95% CI 0.60 to 0.96) groups. Only abciximab-treated patients had increased major bleeding (5.8% vs 3.8%; OR 1.53; 95% CI 1.24 to 1.90). There was no effect of eptifibatide or tirofiban on major bleeding (5.0% vs 4.3%; OR 1.19; 95% CI 0.94 to 1.52). Thus, significant differences exist between clinical outcomes achieved by abciximab and those achieved by eptifibatide or tirofiban following PCl procedures. 相似文献

Platelets play a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and thus are logical therapeutic targets for treatment of this disease process. Platelet glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists, which interrupt the final common pathway of platelet aggregation, have been proved to reduce the 30-day incidence of death, acute myocardial infarction (MI), and urgent revascularization in both high-risk and low-risk patients undergoing percutaneous intervention procedures. Three-year follow-up has indicated that these benefits appear durable. Recent large-scale randomized trials have demonstrated the value of GP IIb/IIIa receptor inhibitors in reducing the risk of death and MI in patients with unstable angina or those with MI with non–Q-wave abnormalities who are receiving pharmacologic management. In addition, emerging evidence suggests a future role for GP IIb/IIIa receptor inhibitors as an adjunct to low-dose fibrinolytic therapy in patients with acute MI. As the list of indications for GP IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists expands to encompass the full spectrum of ACS, there is increasing interest in the potential use of these agents in the emergency department setting. The integration of GP IIb/IIIa receptor inhibitors into ED protocols will ultimately depend largely on whether these drugs prove to be safe and effective regardless of the direction of ST-segment deviation, and irrespective of whether definitive therapy will be invasive or conservative.

Glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa inhibitors block the final common pathway of platelet aggregation by preventing fibrinogen from binding to the GP IIb/IIIa platelet receptor. In patients with unstable angina (UA) or a non–Q wave myocardial infarction (NQWMI), including those with UA refractory to medical therapy, these agents decrease the risk of death, myocardial infarction (MI), and recurrent ischemia. Most patients with acute coronary syndromes are managed in hospitals without on-site angioplasty capabilities and often require transfer for an interventional procedure. We propose that GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors can be safely initiated at the referring hospital. We studied 20 patients with UA/NQWMI in whom therapy with a GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor, in addition to standard medical therapy, was initiated prior to transfer for an urgent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (drip and ship). The primary end point was a composite of death, MI, and recurrent ischemia at 30 days. Twelve patients were treated with abciximab, 5 patients were treated with tirofiban, and 3 patients initially treated with tirofiban were converted to abciximab. Procedural success occurred in 33 out of 36 (92%) lesions and 18 out of 20 (90%) patients. At 30 days, 4 out of 20 (20%) patients had recurrent ischemia. The PTCA sites were widely patent in the 3 patients who underwent repeat angiography. The fourth patient had an unsuccessful PCI and was referred for coronary artery bypass surgery. There were no MIs or deaths. Patients who require transfer for an urgent PCI can be managed safely and efficaciously by initiating a GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor, in addition to standard medical therapy, prior to transfer. 相似文献

We assessed glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa independent platelet activation in coronary sinus and peripheral blood from patients who underwent angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction and stable angina. Despite complete blockade of the activated GP IIb/IIIa receptor with abciximab in patients with acute myocardial infarction, unsuppressed local GP IIb/IIIa independent activation was associated with a lack of recovery of left ventricular function. 相似文献

Glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa inhibitors including abciximab, eptifibatide and tirofiban have been studied extensively as short-term adjuncts to short-term heparin and indefinite aspirin in patients with acute coronary syndrome or undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions on native vessels. The drugs provide a small advantage in the composite endpoint of death, myocardial infarction, and need for revascularization at 30 days (1-2% of treated patients) at the expense of an increase in major and potentially fatal bleeding complications (1% of treated patients over heparin plus aspirin alone). Highest-risk patients appear to benefit the most; clopidogrel should also be considered in these patients. Patients undergoing percutaneous interventions on bypass grafts do not benefit. Whether one GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor is superior to another is incompletely clarified. Abciximab causes severe immune-mediated thrombocytopenia (<20,000/microl) in 0.7% of cases; this is more often than eptifibatide or tirofiban (0.2%). Pseudothrombocytopenia should be differentiated. Effective use of GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors for acute coronary syndrome and percutaneous coronary interventions requires discerning clinical judgment. The value of GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors is not established in other forms of vascular disease. 相似文献
