Abstract
Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa antagonists are well established for their effectiveness in improving clinical outcomes in acute coronary syndrome patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Acute profound thrombocytopenia is a rare complication of abciximab. We present a case which was managed successfully for the rare complication of acute profound thrombocytopenia after using abciximab and an intra-aortic balloon pump for the treatment of a no-reflow phenomenon and consecutive cardiogenic shock during primary percutaneous coronary intervention.Entities:
