Tirofiban and eptifibatide are currently approved for the medical stabilization of non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes. In patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) during infusion of these drugs, conversion to abciximab, which has long term proven clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness, following PCI may be desirable. The purpose of this study was to determine if the binding or pharmacodynamics of abciximab is affected by a prior infusion of either tirofiban or eptifibatide.
