Background Sirolimus-eluting stents reduce rates of restenosisand reintervention, as compared with uncoated stents. Data arelimited regarding the safety and efficacy of such stents inprimary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute myocardialinfarction with ST-segment elevation.
Methods We performed a single-blind, multicenter, prospectivelyrandomized trial to compare sirolimus-eluting stents with uncoatedstents in primary PCI for acute myocardial infarction with ST-segmentelevation. The trial included 712 patients at 48 medical centers.The primary end point was target-vessel failure at 1 year afterthe procedure, defined as target-vesselrelated death,recurrent myocardial infarction, or target-vessel revascularization.A follow-up angiographic substudy was performed at 8 monthsamong 174 patients from selected centers.
Results The rate of the primary end point was significantlylower in the sirolimus-stent group than in the uncoated-stentgroup (7.3% vs. 14.3%, P=0.004). This reduction was driven bya decrease in the rate of target-vessel revascularization (5.6%and 13.4%, respectively; P<0.001). There was no significantdifference between the two groups in the rate of death (2.3%and 2.2%, respectively; P=1.00), reinfarction (1.1% and 1.4%,respectively; P=1.00), or stent thrombosis (3.4% and 3.6%, respectively;P=1.00). The degree of neointimal proliferation, as assessedby the mean (±SD) in-stent late luminal loss, was significantlylower in the sirolimus-stent group (0.14±0.49 mm, vs.0.83±0.52 mm in the uncoated stent group; P<0.001).
Conclusions Among selected patients with acute myocardial infarction,the use of sirolimus-eluting stents significantly reduced therate of target-vessel revascularization at 1 year. (ClinicalTrials.govnumber, NCT00232830
