- History of allergic reaction to abciximab or eptifibatide or any component used in the study (including contrast media)
- Known severe renal (creatinine clearance \<30ml/min) or hepatic insufficiency as well as Alanine transaminase (ALT)/aspartate transaminase (AST) elevations = 3xUpper limit normal (ULN); isolated AST-elevation is not considered an exclusion criteria from study participation
- Severe concomitant disease with life expectation \< 1 year
- Subject has participated in any study using an investigational drug or device within 30 days or within 5 half-lives of the investigational drug (whichever is longer) of entry into this study.
