Primary angioplasty results in higher reperfusion rates than fibrinolysis in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI). Two recent trials have shown improved rates of reperfusion when a reduced-dose thrombolytic is combined with the platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor inhibitor abciximab. We present a case report of acute MI successfully treated with a combination of tirofiban and half-dose alteplase and eventual percutaneous coronary intervention.
