Study summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate the completeness of struts coverage and vessel wall response (strut malapposition, neointima disomogeneities in texture) to the ENDEAVOR drug-eluting stent vs the DRIVER stent (bare metal stent of identical metallic platform) implanted for the treatment of the culprit lesion in ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI). To investigate the completeness of the coverage as well as the number of uncovered stent struts per section (embedded, uncovered, malapposed) and the neointima texture, high resolution (\~ 10-15 µm axial) intracoronary optical coherence tomography (OCT)will be used.

Read the detailed description

Major concerns have been raised with regard to the safety of drug-eluting stents (DES) in patients with ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI). Data from registry studies have suggested that implantation of DES during primary PCI could be associated with an increased risk for stent thrombosis, probably due to delayed arterial healing. Unlike first generation DES, zotarolimus-eluting stents seems to be associated with complete and uniform neointimal coverage. The objective of this prospective study is to measure the completeness of strut coverage and vessel wall response to the ENDEAVOR zotarolimus-eluting stent vs the DRIVER stent (bare metal stent of identical metallic platform) implanted in STEMI patients. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) that detects smaller degrees of stent strut coverage more accurately than IVUS will be used at 6 months follow-up. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) will be performed as per normal practice at any index procedures and at 6 months follow-up.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
