TI  - Combination Enoxaparin and Abciximab During Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A 
      New Standard of Care?
PG  - 157-164
AB  - Evidence from randomized trials supports the administration of platelet 
      glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa blockade both to patients undergoing percutaneous 
      coronary intervention (PCI) and those presenting with non-ST elevation acute 
      coronary syndromes (ACSs). Similarly, the low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), 
      enoxaparin, has demonstrated superior efficacy when compared with unfractionated 
      heparin (UFH) in the treatment of patients with non-ST elevation ACS. Algorithms 
      for seamless integration of pharmacotherpy through the course of hospitalization 
      for patients who present with ACS and who require PCI will likely combine therapy 
      with enoxaparin and platelet GP IIb/IIIa blockade (abciximab). Our preliminary 
      experience with combination enoxaparin and abciximab as adjunctive 
      pharmacotherapy for PCI suggests that this strategy is safe and effective and may 
      offer advantages over a conventional strategy, which employs UFH.
