- Release of troponin evaluated by the peak of troponin during the hospital phase [ Time Frame: during the hospital phase ]
- Death, MIs and urgent revascularizations will be recorded as ischemic events during 1month following randomization. [ Time Frame: during 1month following randomization ]

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Senior) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Man over 18 or non-pregnant woman over 18.
-
Patient hospitalized for severe acute coronary syndrome. To be selected patients will need to have at least 2 criteria for acute coronary syndrome AND a TIMI score > 3 for severity of ACS.
ACS is defined by at least two of the following diagnostic criteria :
- ischemic symptom
- electrocardiographic abnormalities in the ST segment (depression or transitory elevation of at least 0.1 mV), or in the T waves, at least in two contiguous leads positive troponin (as defined locally).
Severity of ACS is defined by a TIMI score > 3
- indication for catheterization agreed and possible within the following 8 hours.
- signed consent form
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients that would require immediate catheterization for ongoing refractory ischemia, major arrhythmias, or hemodynamic instability are not eligible for the study.
- Anticoagulant therapy with antivitamin K within 5 days preceding randomization
- Thrombolytic therapy during the preceding 24 hours
- Upstream treatment by a GPIIb/IIIa inhibitor
- ReoPro should not be administered to patients with known sensitivity to abciximab, to any component of the product or to murine monoclonal antibodies. Because inhibition of platelet aggregation increases the risk of bleeding, ReoPro is contra-indicated in the following clinical situations: active internal bleeding; history of cerebrovascular accident within two years; recent (within two months) intracranial or intraspinal surgery or trauma; recent (within two months) major surgery; intracranial neoplasm, arteriovenous malformation or aneurysm; known bleeding diathesis or severe uncontrolled hypertension; pre-existing thrombocytopenia; vasculitis; hypertensive or diabetic retinopathy; severe hepatic or severe renal failure.
