Síndrome isquémico coronario agudo sin elevación del segmento ST: Papel de los inhibidores IIb/IIIa y del intervencionismo coronario percutáneo

myocardial infarction without st elevation and unstable angina, represents a diagnostic challenge. this syndromes are caused by rupture of a vulnerable plaque which determines intraluminal thrombosis, distal embolism and coronary obstruction. administration of iib/iiia inhibitors produces some benefits, mainly in those patients who are taking to catheterization. coronary intervention based on a routine invasive strategy, has decreased major cardiac events principally at long term.
