Abstract

We describe the case of a fatal cerebral hemorrhage associated with a severe thrombocytopenia (4.0 x 10(9)/l), occurring only 90 min after starting treatment with abciximab, in a patient undergoing primary percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) for an acute myocardial infarction. Cathet. Cardiovasc. Intervent. 49:177-180, 2000.
