Background Drug-eluting coronary-artery stents have been shownto decrease restenosis and therefore the likelihood that additionalprocedures will be required after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI). We evaluated the use of a drug-eluting stent in patientsundergoing PCI for acute myocardial infarction with ST-segmentelevation.
Methods We randomly assigned 619 patients presenting with anacute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation to receiveeither a paclitaxel-eluting stent or an uncoated stent. Theprimary end point was a composite of death from cardiac causes,recurrent myocardial infarction, or target-lesion revascularizationat 1 year.
Results Baseline clinical and angiographic characteristics inboth groups were well matched. There was a trend toward a lowerrate of serious adverse events in the paclitaxel-stent groupthan in the uncoated-stent group (8.8% vs. 12.8%; adjusted relativerisk, 0.63; 95% confidence interval, 0.37 to 1.07; P=0.09).A nonsignificant trend was also detected in favor of the paclitaxel-stentgroup, as compared with the uncoated-stent group, in the rateof death from cardiac causes or recurrent myocardial infarction(5.5% vs. 7.2%, P=0.40) and in the rate of target-lesion revascularization(5.3% vs. 7.8%, P=0.23). The incidence of stent thrombosis during1 year of follow-up was the same in both groups (1.0%).
Conclusions Although the use of paclitaxel-eluting stents inacute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation reducedthe incidence of serious adverse cardiac events at 1 year by4.0 percentage points, as compared with uncoated stents, thedifference was not statistically significant.
