Abciximab, Clopidogrel and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Acute Coronary Syndrome (ISAR-REACT-2)

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is any additional benefit from abciximab administration during percutaneous coronary intervention in patients presenting with acute coronary syndromes after pre-treatment with 600mg of clopidogrel.
