Alveolar hemorrhage associated with platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor inhibitors.
2006
Abstract Platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor inhibitors have been shown to improve outcomes in percutaneous coronary interventions. Their use with multiple anticoagulants has been associated with increased bleeding complications. Among these, alveolar hemorrhage is a rare and potentially fatal complication. Six patients with this complication were identified over a four-year period. Patient characteristics, possible risk factors, pathophysiology, prevention and potential treatment options are discussed.
