Abstract

Eptifibatide is a commonly and widely used drug for management of acute coronary syndrome and during percutaneous coronary intervention. It is usually well tolerated with no major adverse effects. We report a rare case of life-threatening thrombocytopenia secondary to eptifibatide along with a literature review of available evidence.
