Complications following endovascular coiling with eptifibatide
| Description | Patient No. | Rupture/Unrupture |
|---|---|---|
| Eptifibatide related | ||
| Intracranial bleeding* | 2 | 2/0 |
| Groin hematoma | 3 | 1/2 |
| Thrombocytopenia† | 2 | 2/0 |
| Procedure related | ||
| Arterial dissection | 1 | 1/0 |
| Intraprocedural rupture | 2 | 1/0 |
| Thromboembolic | 1 | 1/0 |
* One patient with intraprocedural rupture was likely exacerbated with eptifibatide, and one patient had a hemorrorhagic transformation of a thromembolic infarction
† Both patients were on famotidine and one patient developed sepsis; thus, the etiology of the thrombocytopenia is unclear.
