Abstract: | Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors are used in the acute coronary syndromes and percutaneous coronary intervention as antiplatelet agents. However, these agents induce thrombocytopenia in approximately 1% to 5% of patients, and may lead to bleeding complications. Abciximab is associated with higher incidence of thrombocytopenia than eptifibatide and tirofiban. We describe a case of acute profound thrombocytopenia due to on tirofiban treatment in a patient who underwent primary angioplasty. © The Author(s) 2012. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/11499/8212 https://doi.org/10.1177/0218492312445142 |
