Does a single bolus injection of c7E3 Fab (abciximab) restore coronary blood flow in a patient with acute myocardial infarction?
Bolus administration of c7E3 Fab (abciximab) successfully restored coronary blood flow in a patient with acute myocardial infarction, suggesting potential as a bridging therapy before primary angioplasty.
Domanovits et al. (1998) conducted a case report in Acute Myocardial Infarction (n=1). c7E3 Fab was evaluated on Restoration of coronary blood flow (TIMI-grade 3 flow). A single bolus injection of c7E3 Fab led to complete reperfusion of the infarct-related coronary artery in a patient with acute myocardial infarction prior to planned angioplasty.
