Safety of antithrombotic treatment in acute coronary syndromes
The management of acute coronary syndromes (with or without ST segment elevation) requires the use of anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents (aspirin, clopidogrel and/or glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa inhibitors), beta-blockers, thrombolytics in some cases, and revascularization / reperfusion. view more (2008-09-03)
NEW THERAPEUTIC APPROACH TO CORONARY STENTING (p 2037)
Patients given stent implantation to treat coronary heart disease could benefit from a new therapeutic approach with the platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor eptifibatide, concludes research published in this week's issue of THE LANCET.
