Background

Technetium Tc 99m (99mTc)-apcitide binds with high affinity and specificity to the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptors expressed on activated platelets and, therefore, 99mTc-apcitide scintigraphy should be negative with residual abnormalities caused by old, inactive thrombi and positive with new, active thrombi. Technetium Tc 99m apcitide is indicated for scintigraphic imaging of acute venous thrombosis in the lower extremities in patients with signs and symptoms of acute blood clots. The mechanism of action of technetium Tc 99m apcitide is based on the binding of the small-molecule synthetic peptide, apcitide, to the GPIIb/IIIa receptors on the surface of activated platelets, which are a major component in active thrombus formation.
