Intracoronary (IC) administration of abciximab may increase local drug levels by several orders of magnitude compared to intravenous (IV) treatment and may improve clinical outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). In the absence of results from large multicenter, randomized trials, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of available studies comparing IC to IV abciximab in these patients.
