Routine early eptifibatide versus delayed provisional use at percutaneous coronary intervention in high-risk non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes patients: An analysis from the Early Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibition in Non-ST-Segment Elevatio KU Leuven
AIMS: In the EARLY ACS trial, routine early eptifibatide was not superior to delayed provisional use at percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI); however, among PCI-treated patients, numerically fewer ischemic end points occurred in the upstream eptifibatide group. We sought to further explore this finding using methods for examination of treatment effect in this postrandomization subgroup. METHODS AND RESULTS: Of 9,406 patients in the EARLY ACS ...
