GPIIbIIIa Inhibitors in the RESCUe and RESURCOR Networks at the Acute Myocardial Infarction

Summary

In patients with acute myocardial infarction who are managed in the prehospital setting, and who will treated with primary angioplasty, we evaluate the benefit of an early administration of tirofiban, a powerful GPIIbIIIa inhibitors. Patients are randomised to early administration in the ambulance or administration in the cathlab. The primary endpoint is TIMI 2-3 flow in the first coronary opacification of the culprit artery.
