NCT00271401

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of intracoronary stenting with or without abciximab, an anti-platelet therapy, and conventional coronary angioplasty with abciximab in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.

Study Arms (3)

Angioplasty With Abciximab Plus Low-Dose Heparin

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive conventional angioplasty/atherectomy along with bolus abciximab 0.25 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) of body weight followed by a 0.125 microgram per kilogram per minute (mcg/kg/minute) infusion for 12 hours plus 7 unit per kilogram per hour (U/kg/hr) continuous infusion of heparin.

Other: AngioplastyDrug: AbxicimabDrug: Heparin

Intracoronary Stent With Reo Pro Plus Low Dose Heparin

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive intracoronary stent along with receive bolus abciximab 0.25 mg/kg of body weight followed by a 0.125 mcg/kg/minute infusion for 12 hours plus 7 U/kg/hr continuous infusion of heparin (low dose).

Other: Intracoronary StentDrug: AbxicimabDrug: Heparin

Intracoronary Stent With Placebo Plus Standard Dose Heparin

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Participants will receive intracoronary stent along with bolus placebo followed by placebo infusion for 12 hours plus 10 U/kg/hr continuous infusion of heparin (standard dose).

Other: Intracoronary StentDrug: HeparinDrug: Placebo

Eligibility Criteria

Age21 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients referred for elective or urgent percutaneous coronary intervention
  • Who are suitable candidates for either conventional angioplasty or primary intracoronary stent implantation
  • Having a target artery (native or graft) stenosis of \>= 60% (visual estimation)

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction within the previous 12 hours
  • With a planned staged procedure or having an unprotected left main coronary artery stenosis \> 50%
  • With active internal bleeding, having a condition that may increase the risk of bleeding, or receiving ongoing treatment with an oral anticoagulant at the time of study entry
  • Having had a percutaneous coronary intervention within the previous 3 months or prior intracoronary stent placement in a target vessel
  • Having hypertension with systolic blood pressure \> 180 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure \> 100 mm Hg at the time of study entry, or a platelet count \< 100,000/μL at baseline
