Abciximab is given after stenting

what about clopidogrel and Aspirin..are these both given before, after or both?

Docnikki....I think abciximab and other glycoprotein 2b/3a inhibitors are given peri-procedural i.e : they acoompany the procedure

Aspirin is given Post-procedural....

Please do correct me if I am not on target

nodYou are right sprint123, abciximab accompanies the procedure and Aspirin + clopidogrel given after..clopidogrel for 30 days and aspirin life long.
