ABSTRACT
Thrombembolic complications frequently occur during and after endovascular procedures because of associated arterial injury and thrombotic characteristics of implanted devices such as stents. New strategies in platelet aggregation inhibition are now available blocking the final and common pathway of platelet aggregation, the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor. This treatment modality seems to be more effective for prophylaxis and prevention of thrombembolic complications than standard antiplatelet therapy. Most of the data provided for glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor blockade are derived from studies of coronary interventions. This report reviews the pharmacodynamic differences of classic and new drugs for platelet inhibition and the basic considerations for antiplatelet therapy in noncoronary interventions.
