Super Asprin

After a family member was diagnosed with heart disease and the doctors were going over possible interventions we began to research the best doctors and procedures for combat the problem. While they endend up getting balloon angioplasty, having abciximab as an option would have been nice. The article I found the other day would have been something to futher to look into last summer. Basically, with complications following balloon angioplasty, Thomas Jefferson University have found that an intravenous "super aspirin" called abciximab given in the cat lav before angioplasty can prevent platelets from sticking to arterial walls and reclogging vessels.
