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 www.escardio.org/guidelines www.escardio.org/guidelines www.escardio.org/guidelines www.escardio.org/guidelines 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. www.escardio.org/guidelines 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) www.escardio.org/guidelines Treatment Effect on 30-day Mortality Among Diabetic Patients with NSTE ACS from Six Randomized Clinical Trials www.escardio.org/guidelines 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.

Primary PCI I I 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.

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.
