• In patients with high-risk NSTEMI ACS:
– HDB tirofiban (25 µg/kg bolus for 3 min followed by 0.15 µg/kg/min

various measures of myocardial perfusion
– Tirofiban (0.4 µ g/kg/min X 30 min followed by 0.1 µg/kg/min
infusion) initiated upstream is significantly better to in-lab
abciximab with regard to various measures of myocardial perfusion
– Tirofiban (0.4 µg/kg/min X 30 min followed by 0.1 µg/kg/min
infusion) initiated upstream is significantly better to both in-lab HDB
tirofiban and in-lab abciximab with regard to reducing peak cTnI
levels post-PCI

HDB Tirofiban in Primary PCI: Conclusion
• MULTISTRATEGY demonstrated that HDB tirofiban is as safe
and effective as Abciximab in patients with STEMI undergoing
primary PCI w/stenting at 30 days and at 8 months
– With significantly lower rates of thrombocytopenia at 30 days
• On-TIME 2 demonstrated the efficacy and safety of pre-hospital
administration of HDB tirofiban in patients with STEMI
w/planned primary PCI at 30 day
– With significant reductions in all-cause and cardiac mortality in the cohort
of patients undergoing primary PCI at 1 year

Revascularization in NSTEMI Antithrombotic pharmacotherapy
European Heart Journal (2010) 31, 2501–2555
Revascularization in NSTEMI Antithrombotic pharmacotherapy
GPIIb–IIIa inhibitors should be used in patients with
high ischaemic risk undergoing PCI.
The greatest benefit of GPIIb–IIIa inhibitors vs.
placebo was demonstrated in earlier RCTs when
ADP receptor blockers were not routinely used.
The selective ‘downstream administration’ of
abciximab in the catheterization laboratory, in
combination with a 600 mg clopidogrel loading dose,
has been shown to be effective in troponin-positive
NSTE-ACS patients and might therefore be preferred
over upstream use.

Randomized trials of GP llb/llla inhibitors
(dark bars) VS control (open bars)
www.escardio.org/guidelines
Recommendations for GP IIb/IIA Inhibitors (1)
In patients at intermediate to high risk, particularly
patients with elevated troponins, ST-depression, or diabetes, either
eptifibatide or tirofiban for initial early treatment are recommended in
addition to oral antiplatelet agents. (II-A)
The choice of combination of antiplatelet agents and
anticoagulants should be made in relation to risk of
ischaemic and bleeding events. (I-B)
Patients who received initial treatment with eptifibatide or
tirofiban prior to angiography, should be maintained on
the same drug during and after PCI. (Ila-B)
www.escardio.org/guidelines
Recommendations for GP IIb/IIIA Inhibitors (2)
In high risk patients not pretreated with GP Ilb/IIIa inhibitors and
proceeding to PCI, abciximab is recommended immediately
following angiography. (I-A) The use of eptifibatide or tirofiban in
this setting is less well established. (IIa-B)
GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors must be combined with an anticoagulant. (I-A)
Bivalirudin may be used as an alternative to GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors
plus UFH/LMWH. (IIa-B)
When anatomy is known and PCI planned to be performed with in
24 hours with GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors, most secure evidence is for
abciximab (IIa-B)

ESC Guidelines for the Management of NSTE –ACS(112)
Recommendations for Diabetes
Tight glycaemic control to achieve normoglycaemia as soon as possible is
recommended in all diabetic patients with NSTE-ACS in the acute phase. (I-C)
Insulin infusion may be needed to achieve normoglycaemia in selected NSTEACS patients with high blood glucose levels at admission. (lla-C)
Early invasive strategy is recommended for diabetic patients with NSTE-ACS. (l-A)
Diabetic patients with NSTE-ACS should receive intravenous GP llb/llla inhibitors
as part of the initial medical management which should be continued through
the completion of PCI. (lla-B)

No upstream GP llb/llla use in low-risk patients
Early conservative strategy:Enoxaparin or
fondaparinux preferred over GP llb/llla inhibitors (Class

No planned PCI
No abciximab (Class lll,LOE:A)
Invasive strategy: As second antiplatelet agent, IV
eptifibatide or tirofiban preferred prior to angiography.

Guidelines for NSTEMI
Before PCI:
● Clopidogrel (Level: B); or
● An IV GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor. (Level: A)
IV eptifibatide or tirofiban are the preferred
GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors.
At the time of PCI:
● Clopidogrel if not started before PCI (Level: A); or
● Prasugrel (Level: B); or
● An IV GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor. (Level: A)

Use of Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Receptor
Antagonists in STEMI

It is reasonable to start treatment with
glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonists at the
time of primary PCI (with or without stenting) in
selected patients with STEMI:
abciximab
I IIa llb III
tirofiban and eptifibatide
Use of Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Receptor

Modified
Recommendation
I IIa llb III
The usefulness of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor
antagonists (as part of a preparatory
pharmacologic strategy for patients with STEMI
prior to arrival in the cardiac catheterization
laboratory for angiography and PCI) is
uncertain.
Primary PCI

STEMI patients presenting to a hospital
with PCI capability should be treated with
primary PCI within 90 min of first medical
contact as a systems goal.
STEMI patients presenting to a hospital without
PCI capability, and who cannot be transferred to a
PCI center and undergo PCI within 90 min of
first medical contact, should be treated with
fibrinolytic therapy within 30 min of hospital
presentation as a systems goal, unless fibrinolytic
therapy is contraindicated.

Final result
Conclusions
Weight risks for individual patients: Triple therapy vs DAPT
Patients undergoing PCI: Aggressive APT reduces stent
thrombosis rate
Balance between bleeding and ischemia/thrombosis risk
Triple therapy in pts with high ischemia risk and high
thrombotic burden undergoing PCI
More trial results to come

thrombotic and bleeding risks
Take home points
Platelet inhibition is fundamental to PCI success
- not only long-term, but also short-term.
The benefit of GP2b3a receptor blockade is
greatest in high-risk patients.
Timing remains important, but the emphasis
should be on reducing time to PCI in all ACS.
Determining the balance of thrombosis risk and
bleeding complications requires careful thought.
