Clinical Outcome After Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Drug-Eluting and Bare Metal Stents in Patients With ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Abstract

In ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients treated with primary PCI, target lesion revascularization was reduced by 30% in patients treated with a DES. The risk of very late definite stent thrombosis was low but increased in patients treated with DES. DES was not associated with increased risk of myocardial infarction or death, when compared with BMS.
