Should Integrilin be an Integral Part of Adjunctive Therapy in Patients Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction?

The aim of this observational study is to evaluate the in hospital and 6 month outcomes of
the use of Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor eptifibatide as adjunctive therapy in patients
undergoing primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for ST-elevation myocardial infarction
in a large tertiary referral center.

It is hypothesized that Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor use during primary Percutaneous
Coronary Intervention for ST-elevation myocardial infarction/ acute myocardial infarction is
superior to unfractionated heparin alone or bivalirudin alone. Additionally, after
propensity matching this superiority remains.

This is a retrospective, observational, data analysis of approximately 800 patients who
underwent primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention at our institution since September
2000. Patients will have either received eptifibatide pre-or during Percutaneous Coronary
Intervention or have received no eptifibatide. Patients who received a thrombolytic prior to
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention will be excluded.

This analysis is estimated to take 1-2 months.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Underwent Percutaneous Coronary Intervention at Washington Hospital Center since
September 2000

- Either received eptifibatide pre-or during PCI or have received no eptifibatide.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients who received a thrombolytic prior to Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.
