While their efficacy in acute coronary syndromes is established, their role in elective PCI, particularly among elderly patients, remains uncertain.Methods: This retrospective, single-center study included 85 patients aged ≥65 years who underwent elective PCI between 2021–2023 and received GPIs due to high thrombus burden or no-reflow. All patients received aspirin and a P2Y12 inhibitor (clopidogrel , prasugrel, or ticagrelor); abciximab or tirofiban was used as the GPI. Clinical, laboratory, and procedural data were analyzed, focusing on major bleeding, haemoglobin drop, transfusion requirement, and hospital stay.Results: The mean age was 70 years and 83% were male. Tirofiban was administered in 83% and abciximab in 17% of cases. Major bleeding occurred in 26%, most frequently in the abciximab plus potent P2Y12 group, though differences were not statistically significant. Hospital stay was longer in patients receiving abciximab. Haemoglobin drop was significantly greater across groups, but no difference was observed in haemoglobin levels at one-month and one-year follow-up. Creatinine values were comparable. No stent thrombosis or mortality was reported.Conclusions: In elderly patients undergoing elective PCI, GPIs appear to be the main determinant of bleeding risk, with no additional impact from the choice of P2Y12 inhibitor. These findings emphasize the need for a selective approach to GPI use in this setting KW - Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors; P2Y12 inhibitors; elective PCI; bleeding; elderly patients KW - Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors KW - P2Y12 inhibitors KW - elective PCI KW - bleeding N2 - Giriş: Glikoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitörleri (GPI’ler), perkütan koroner girişim (PKG) sırasında trombotik komplikasyonları azaltmak için kullanılan güçlü antiplatelet ajanlardır. Akut koroner sendromlarda etkinlikleri gösterilmiş olsa da, elektif PKG’de özellikle yaşlı hastalarda klinik yararları ve güvenlik profilleri tartışmalıdır.Yöntemler: Bu retrospektif, tek merkezli çalışmaya, 2021–2023 yılları arasında elektif PKG sırasında yüksek trombüs yükü veya no-reflow nedeniyle GPI tedavisi verilen, 65 yaş ve üzeri toplam 85 hasta dahil edildi. Tüm hastalara asetilsalisilik asit ve bir P2Y12 inhibitörü (klopidogrel, prasugrel veya tikagrelor) uygulandı; GPI olarak abciximab veya tirofiban kullanıldı. Klinik, laboratuvar ve işlem verileri incelendi; majör kanama, hemoglobin düşüşü, transfüzyon ihtiyacı ve hastanede kalış süresi değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Hastaların ortalama yaşı 70 yıl olup %83’ü erkekti. Tirofiban %83, abciximab %17 oranında kullanıldı. Majör kanama oranı %26 idi ve en yüksek oran abciximab + potent P2Y12 grubunda gözlendi. Ancak gruplar arasında istatistiksel fark yoktu. Hastanede kalış süresi abciximab alanlarda daha uzundu. Hemoglobin düşüşü gruplar arasında anlamlı farklılık gösterirken, 1. ay ve 1. yılda Hb değerleri benzerdi. Kreatinin düzeyleri arasında fark yoktu, mortalite veya stent trombozu görülmedi.Sonuç: Yaşlı elektif PKG hastalarında GPI tedavisi kanama riskini artıran temel faktördür. P2Y12 inhibitörünün klopidogrel veya potent ajan olmasının kanama üzerine ek etkisi görülmemiştir. Bulgular, GPI kullanımında seçici yaklaşımın önemini vurgulamaktadır CR - De Luca G, Navarese E, Marino P.
