High Bolus Dose of Tirofiban
Conditions
Brief summary
The goal of the study to investigate the impact of upstream HBD of Tirofiban on short outcome of STEMI patient.
Detailed description
* Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is the gold standard of treatment of ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).1 PPCI restores thrombolysis in myocardial infarction flow 3 (TIMI 3) in over 90% of patients. However ,there remains a small proportion of patients, who continue to exhibit overt impairment of myocardial reperfusion despite successful opening of infarct related epicardiual artery (IRA). This phenomenon is called no-reflow, which is largely because of severe microvascular obstruction (MVO). * Belonging to the class of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors (GPIs), tirofiban, can be useful in primary PCI for acute coronary syndrome (ACS).1,2The administration of tirofiban is an efficacious treatment option to reduce ischemic events in patients with The ACS and/or those undergoing PCI.2,3 In most guidelines, abciximab is recommended as the drug of first choice4 due to the finding that tirofiban is less effective than abciximab in platelet inhibition within 60 min of intravenous administration. However, some recent systemic reviews of randomized trials have not demonstrated obvious difference between smGPIs (eptifibatide or tirofiban) and abciximab in terms of angiographic, electrocardiographic, and clinical outcomes of patients undergoing primary PCI.5,6 Tirofiban may provide similar efficacy with an improved safety profile when compared with abciximab, particularly with a high-dose bolus regimen.7,8 In the new guideline, the recommended class of smGPIs has changed from IIb to IIa, but tirofiban remains with a pre-PCI indication of IIb, B.4 Although early treatment was associated with a significantly better TIMI flow and superior TIMI myocardial perfusion grades (TMPG) in some trials,9,10 no difference in clinical outcome was found between the 2 strategies in later study.11 One potential cost of administration of GPIs could be increased bleeding, although both major bleeding and minor bleeding rate are low in the tirofiban-treated patients..
Interventions
DRUG-Administration of tirofiban (25 ug/kg bolus and 0.15 ug/kg/min maintenance infusion)
* After consenting for primary PCI ,the patient will be assigned to one arm ( either upstream high bolus dose IV before going to cath lab or selective downstream administration according to operator discretion ) * Administration of tirofiban (25 ug/kg bolus and 0.15 ug/kg/min maintenance infusion) * Randomization will be performed by Microsoft Excel where random order will be generated for the study population
