Abstract:A 62-year-old male patient presented with acute inferior wall myocardial infarction. The patient was treated with aspirin, clopidogrel and enoxaparin after admission. On the 3rdday, he underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with a normal blood platelet count (237×109·L-1). Tirofiban was given to him after PCI. On the 4thday, the blood platelet count dropped to 37×109·L-1. So tirofiban and enoxaparin was immediately withdrawn. On the 7thday, blood routine test showed platelet count increased to normal range. Thereafter the blood platelet count was stable and the patient was discharged with stable station.
