3 Background There is limited data on the comparison between vs. Tirofiban at high bolus dose (HDB: 25 µg/kg over 3 min) 4 RCTs have so far contrasted these two drugs in 719 pts undergoing PCI of whom less than 3 were recruited in the setting of STEMI 1,2 1: Valgimigli et al.

26 Summary Our study provides evidence that in a broad population of largely unselected patients undergoing angioplasty for ST-elevation myocardial infarction: Tirofiban enables non-inferior STR within 9 after intervention and similar outcomes at 8 months than The safety profile favoured the use of tirofiban for a lower incidence of thrombocytopenia which has prognostic implications Tirofiban appeared a more cost-efficient drug than abciximab
