Abstract
The efficacy of GPIIb/IIIa inhibitors has now been evaluated in over 20 000 patients with unstable angina and non-Q MI. These agents have shown great efficacy in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. They are also effective, even if to a lesser degree, as an addition to medical treatment. The safety profile is satisfactory. Several issues have to be investigated in the future: comparison of agents, use of oral inhibitors, associations with Heparin, consequences on management, and cost efficacy. As of now, it is clear that GPIIb/IIIa inhibitors represent a significant progress in the treatment of patients with acute coronary syndromes.
