Abstract
- We studied the in-hospital outcome of 138 consecutive patients who received abciximab as a "rescue" intervention for complicated coronary angioplasty in a high-risk clinical setting. "Rescue" treatment with abciximab was associated with clinical and angiographic success rates of 83% and 84%, respectively, whereas the risk of bleeding was higher in patients of low body weight.
