->Abciximab bolus + infusion vs abciximab bolus c placements infusion vs placebo in high risk patients undergroinq PCI . Abciximab bolus and infusion reduced rate of MI' death, revascularization by 35% at 30d, 23% at 6m, 13% at 3years. Most of affect from reduction of repeat CABG/PCI . Higher rate of bleedinq.
