Combination Therapy With Abciximab Reduces Angiographically Evident Thrombus in Acute Myocardial Infarction A TIMI 14 Substudy

TL;DR: Compared with thrombolytic monotherapy, combination therapy with abciximab reduces AET, which in turn is associated with reduced residual stenosis and improved ST-segment resolution in AMI, providing a pathophysiological link between platelet inhibition, reduced thrombus, and improvements in both epicardial and microvascular perfusion in AMi.
Journal Article

Prevention of supraventricular arrhythmias after coronary artery bypass surgery. A meta-analysis of randomized control trials.

TL;DR: All three classes of agents reduced the ventricular rate in patients who developed the arrhythmia, although the ventocard rate reduction was not clinically optimal, and had a protective effect against the development of SVAs in a select population of patients undergoing CABG.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hirudin in acute myocardial infarction. Safety report from the Thrombolysis and Thrombin Inhibition in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) 9A Trial.

TL;DR: The rate of major spontaneous hemorrhage for both heparin and hirudin in TIMi 9A was higher than that seen in TIMI 5, TIMI 6, and GUSTO 1 and it now appears important to monitor aPTT on a regular basis when using either antithrombin to identify those patients who require downward adjustment of the infusion.
