    (Hindawi Ltd, 2014) Yurtdas, Mustafa; Yaylali, Yalin Tolga; Aladag, Nesim; Ozdemir, Mahmut; Atay, Memis Hilmi
    Tirofiban, a specific glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor, may cause extensive thrombocytopenia with an incidence of 0.2% to 0.5%. We report the case of a 50-year-oldman who developed thrombocytopenia after tirofiban use (both intracoronary and peripheral) over hours and the successful management of this complication after primary percutaneous coronary intervention for acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
