Heliyon 2023; 9:e15842. [PMID: 37180928 PMCID: PMC10172923 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e15842] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2022] [Revised: 04/22/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Effective antiplatelet therapy is critical for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and receiving primary percutaneous coronary interventions (PPCI). Intracoronary (IC) and intravenous (IV) administration of tirofiban are commonly used during the procedure of PPCI. However, which is the better administration route of tirofiban have not been fully evaluated. Methods A comprehensive literature search of RCTs that comparing IC with IV tirofiban in STEMI patients undergoing PPCI was conducted, which were published as of May 7, 2022, in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scopus and ClinicalTrials.gov. The primary efficacy endpoint was 30-day major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and the primary safety endpoint was in-hospital bleeding events. Results This meta-analysis included 9 trials involving 1177 patients. IC tirofiban significantly reduced the incidence of 30-day MACE (RR 0.65, 95% CI: 0.44 to 0.95, P = 0.028) and improved the rate of the thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) grade 3 flow in high-dose (25 μg/kg) group (RR = 1.13, 95% CI: 0.99-1.30, P = 0.001), in-hospital (WMD 2.03, 95% CI: 1.03 to 3.02, P < 0.001), and 6-month left ventricular injection fraction (LVEF) (WMD 6.01, 95% CI: 5.02 to 6.99, P < 0.001) compared with IV. There was no significant difference in the incidences of in-hospital bleeding events (RR 0.96, 95% CI: 0.67 to 1.38, P = 0.82) and thrombocytopenia (RR 0.63, 95% CI: 0.26 to 1.57, P = 0.32) between the two groups. Conclusions IC tirofiban significantly improved the incidence of TIMI 3 in the high-dose group, in-hospital and 6-month LVEF, and reduced the 30-day MACE incidence without increasing the risk of bleeding compared with IV.

Efficacy, Safety, and Role of Antiplatelet Drugs in the Management of Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Comprehensive Review of Literature. Cureus 2023; 15:e36335. [PMID: 37077602 PMCID: PMC10109212 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.36335] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 03/17/2023] [Indexed: 03/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a complex condition characterized by myocardial ischemia or infarction which can lead to significant morbidity and death. Antiplatelet drugs play a crucial role in the management of ACS and have been shown to minimize the incidence of significant adverse cardiovascular events and recurrent myocardial infarction (MI). This comprehensive literature review is intended to summarize current information on the effectiveness, safety, and function of frequently used antiplatelet medications in treating ACS. Aspirin, clopidogrel, prasugrel, ticagrelor, abciximab, tirofiban, dipyridamole, cilostazol, and novel antiplatelets are included in the review. Aspirin's effectiveness as a first-line antiplatelet medication in ACS is well established. It has significantly lowered the risk of serious adverse cardiovascular events. Clopidogrel, prasugrel, and ticagrelor are P2Y12 receptor inhibitors found to lower the incidence of recurrent ischemia episodes in ACS patients. Using glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors such as abciximab, tirofiban, and eptifibatide is effective in managing ACS, especially in high-risk patients. Dipyridamole effectively reduces the risk of recurrent ischemic events in patients with ACS, particularly when used with aspirin. Cilostazol, a phosphodiesterase III inhibitor, has also been shown to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with ACS. Antiplatelet drugs' safety in managing ACS has also been well established. Aspirin is generally well-tolerated with a low risk of adverse effects, although the risk of bleeding events, particularly gastrointestinal bleeding, cannot be eliminated. The P2Y12 receptor inhibitors have been associated with a small increase in the risk of bleeding events, particularly in patients with a high risk of bleeding. The glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors are associated with a higher risk of bleeding than other antiplatelet drugs, especially in high-risk patients. To summarize, antiplatelet drugs play a crucial role in the management of ACS, and the efficacy and safety of these drugs have been well-established in the literature. The choice of antiplatelet drugs will depend on the patient's risk factors, including age, comorbidities, and bleeding risk. The novel antiplatelets may offer new therapeutic options for managing ACS, and further studies are needed to determine their role in managing this complex condition.

The Clinical Efficacy of Tirofiban Combined with Ticagrelor and Aspirin in Treating Acute Myocardial Infarction by Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and Its Effect on Patients’ Cardiac Function. JOURNAL OF HEALTHCARE ENGINEERING 2022; 2022:4708572. [PMID: 35186231 PMCID: PMC8849904 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4708572] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2021] [Revised: 12/19/2021] [Accepted: 12/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Objective. To explore the clinical efficacy of tirofiban combined with ticagrelor and aspirin in acute myocardial infarction treatment by percutaneous coronary intervention and its effect on patients’ cardiac function. Methods. We selected 102 patients with acute myocardial infarction who came to The First Hospital of LanZhou University for treatment from July 2018 to May 2021. On the basis of conventional treatment, patients were separated into a joint group (tirofiban combined with ticagrelor and aspirin) comprising 55 cases and a control group (conventional ticagrelor and aspirin dual treatment) involving 47 cases. Blood flow classification of the two groups of patients was immediately recorded and compared after the myocardial infarction thrombolysis test (TIMI). Left ventricular function-related indicators, platelet-related parameters, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), red blood cell distribution width (RDW), and platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) before treatment and 7 days after PCI were evaluated and compared between the groups before treatment and 3 months after treatment. ELISA was utilized to detect the serum levels of inflammatory factors, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) before and after treatment. Incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and adverse reaction incidence was put into comparison between the two groups in the course of the 3-month follow-up period. Compared with the control group, the joint group accounted for more patients with TIMI blood flow classification level 3 (
) and showed more drastic improvement on the left ventricular function, platelet-related parameters, and serum inflammatory factors (
). Moreover, patients of the joint group suffered less fluctuation from RDW, NLR, and PLR (
), and their incidence of MACE was drastically lower in contrast with the control group (
). No notable changes were presented in terms of incidence of adverse reaction (
). For patients who suffered from acute myocardial infarction and treated with percutaneous coronary intervention, the application of tirofiban combined with ticagrelor and aspirin could effectively reduce the incidence of no reflow or slow blood flow, improve myocardial perfusion function, and have marked curative effects. It is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
