CD40 ligand has been suggested to play a pathogenic role in atherogenesis and coronary artery disease progression. Clinical studies suggest that intravenous (IV) abciximab administration attenuates the acute inflammatory response associated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The anti-inflammatory effects of intracoronary (IC) versus IV administration of abciximab have not been systematically investigated. We assessed changes in soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L) concentrations in response to IC versus IV abciximab in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing thrombus-aspirating device during primary PCI.
