Noventa e seis pacientes com diabetes melito do tipo 2 foram randomizados para receberem ou não abciximab durante o implante eletivo de stent coronário, com o objetivo de determinar se esse inibidor da glicoproteína IIb/IIIa reduz a hiperplasia intimal intra-stent, avaliada pelo ultra-som intracoronário, aos seis meses de evolução. A análise volumétrica mostrou que o abciximab não reduz o volume de obstrução intra-stent nestes pacientes [41,3% (DP21,0%) versus 40,5% (DP18,3%), p=0,853]. / Ninety-six type 2 diabetics were randomly assigned to receive abciximab or no abciximab at the time of elective stent implantation to determine whether this IIb/IIIa glycoprotein inhibitor would reduce in-stent intimal hyperplasia, measured by intravascular ultrasound, at 6-month follow-up. Volumetric analysis showed that abciximab was not associated with a reduction of in-stent volume obstruction in diabetic patients [41.3% (DP21.0%) versus 40.5% (DP18.3%), p=0.853).
