Outcomes following bail-out abciximab administration during primary intervention in acute myocardial infarction (The CADILLAC Trial)

Am J Cardiol. 2003 Nov 1;92(9):1091-4. doi: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2003.06.005.

Abstract

The utility of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor inhibitors as a "bail-out" modality after unsuccessful primary percutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction is unknown. In the CADILLAC trial, of 1,030 control patients, 62 patients (6.0%) crossed over and received abciximab for procedural complications or suboptimal angioplasty results. Compared with patients who received routine upfront abciximab, those treated with bail-out abciximab had markedly lower rates of Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction grade 3 flow and increased rates of hemorrhagic and ischemic complications at 30 days and 1 year.
