Popis: Abciximab effectively inhibits platelet aggregation and, therefore, there is considerable concern regarding bleeding complications in patients who require coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery while affected by the drug. This presentation reviews the available published literature regarding CABG in abciximab-treated patients, the clinical results of emergency CABG in 12 patients, and management suggestions for the abciximab-treated patient requiring emergency surgery.
