Intra-Arterial Infusion of a Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Antagonist for the Treatment of Thromboembolism During Coil Embolization of Intracranial Aneurysm: A Comparison of Abciximab and Tirofiban [INTERVENTIONAL]

CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that tirofiban is more effective than abciximab for the immediate resolution of thromboembolisms, with no statistical significance. Both intra-arterial tirofiban and abciximab exhibited similar safety and recanalization rates.
