Abstract

Background: Previous clinical trials demonstrated the efficacy of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor (GP IIb/IIIa) inhibition, started prior to a percutaneous coronary intervention, for the reduction of ischemic complications. The clinical efficacy of GP IIb/IIIa inhibition, started after the occurrence of procedural complications ("rescue" therapy), is less well determined. Objective: Incidence of ischemic myocardial injury during complicated coronary interventions with and without "rescue" therapy with the GP IIb/IIIa inbibitor abciximab. Methods: Matched-pair analysis of 66 consecutive patients with the application or omission of "rescue" abciximab therapy because of dissection (92.4%), side-branch occlusion (16.7%), distal embolization (6%), and no reflow (15.2%) during stent implantation. Detection of myocardial injury was made by ECG analysis, determination of serum activity of creatine kinase (CK, upper limit of normal (ULN) 70 IU/1 for women, 80 IU/1 for men), and point-of-care testing for cardiac troponin T (cTnT, threshold 0.1 ng/ml) before and 6, 12, and 24 hours after coronary intervention. Results: The incidence of a positive post-procedural cTnT status was higher in patients with "rescue" therapy than in patients without "rescue" therapy (66.7 versus 30.3%, p<0.01). Compared to the control group, the incidence of CK elevation (57.6% versus 33.3%, p=0.05) and Q-wave myocardial infarction (12.1 versus 3.0%, p=0.2) tended to be higher in the case group. No reflow was independently predictive of post-interventional CK elevation (p = 0.02), cTnT elevation (p = 0.03) and Q-wave myocardial infarction (0.01). Multiple stent implantation and "rescue" therapy were independently associated with post-procedural cTnT status (p = 0.01 and p<0.01, respectively). Conclusions: GP IIb/IIIa inhibition with abciximab, started in the cardiac catheterization laboratory as a rescue intervention after the occurrence of procedural complications other then acute thrombotic closure, does not seem to substantially reduce the incidence and extent of ischemic myocardial injury.
