ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of homemade tirofiban in percutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction. Methods Sixty four cases of consecutive acute myocardial infarction were enrolled and divided into two groups the tirofiban group (n=34) and the control group (n=30). In addition to intravenous heparin, patients in the tirofiban group received a bolus dose of tirofiban (10 ?g/kg) before stenting and followed by a 0.15 ?g/(kg?min) infusion for up to 12-36 hours. The control group only receive routine intravenous heparin therapy before and during PCI. The post operation TIMI blood flow, bleeding events and major adverse cardiac events were observed in the 2 groups. Results A 97.1% of patients in the tirofiban group compared with 76.7% in the control group obtained TIMI grade 2-3 flow respectively. Among them, 91.2% in the tirofiban group but 70.0% in the control obtained TIMI 3 flow. There were no serious in-hospital bleeding complications and MACE. Conclusion Homemade tirofiban is effective in improving the TIMI grade and prognosis of acute myocardial infarction after PCI.
