2011 ACCF/AHA/SCAI Guidelines for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (DO NOT EDIT)[1]

2011 ACCF/AHA/SCAI Guidelines for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (DO NOT EDIT)[1]

Intravenous Antiplatelet Therapy in patients of ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) (DO NOT EDIT)[1]

Class III (No Benefit)
“1. Routine pre-catheterization laboratory (e.g., ambulance or emergency room) administration of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors as part of an upstream strategy for patients with STEMI undergoing PCI is not beneficial.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] (Level of Evidence: B)”
Class IIa
“1. In patients undergoing primary PCI treated with unfractionated heparin (UFH), it is reasonable to administer a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor (abciximab, double-bolus eptifibatide, or high-bolus dose tirofiban), whether or not patients were pretreated with clopidogrel.[10][11][12][13][14][15][16] (For glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor administration in patients not pretreated with clopidogrel, (Level of Evidence: A); for glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor administration in patients pretreated with clopidogrel,(Level of Evidence: C))”
Class IIb
“1. In patients undergoing primary PCI with abciximab, it may be reasonable to administer intracoronary abciximab.[15][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] (Level of Evidence: B)”
