Abciximab i.v. Versus i.c. in Primary PCI Patients With STEMI

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Myocardial Infarction
Registration Number
NCT00299377
Lead Sponsor
University of Leipzig
Brief Summary

Randomized comparison of abciximab i.v. versus i.c. in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI. The hypothesis is, that higher concentration of abciximab i.c. leads to improved epicardial flow, perfusion, reduction of no-reflow, reduction in infarct size and subsequently better outcome.
