DESCRIPTION
Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibitors in the Setting of Intracoronary Stent Placement. EPISTENT Six-Month Results. Differences Between PRISM & PRISM Plus. PRISM Plus enrolled higher risk patients (90% with ST changes vs 39% in PRISM) 70% of PRISM Plus pts. were on heparin at enrollment - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Differences Between PRISM & Differences Between PRISM & PRISM PlusPRISM Plus
• PRISM Plus enrolled higher risk patients (90% with ST changes vs 39% in PRISM)
• 70% of PRISM Plus pts. were on heparin at enrollment
• Drug administered longer in PRISM Plus (72 vs 48 hours)
• Drug administered during PTCA in PRISM Plus
• PRISM Plus enrolled higher risk patients (90% with ST changes vs 39% in PRISM)
• 70% of PRISM Plus pts. were on heparin at enrollment
• Drug administered longer in PRISM Plus (72 vs 48 hours)
• Drug administered during PTCA in PRISM Plus
Limitations of HeparinLimitations of HeparinLimitations of HeparinLimitations of Heparin
• Need for repeated measurements of aPTT (costly)
• Anticoagulant effect is hard to predict, & varies by– manufactured batch– pts. antithrombin 3 activity– pt. age, weight, smoking status, renal fxn
