Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Comparison of biodegradable polymer versus durable polymer sirolimus-eluting stenting in patients with acute st-elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention: results of the RESOLVE study.
Sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) with a biodegradable polymer coating have demonstrated promising results but have not been compared to SES with a durable polymer in high-risk patients. We compared the efficacy of these 2 stent types in patients with acute myocardial infarction (STEMI). ⋯ In patients undergoing primary PCI for STEMI, the use of biodegradable polymer SES was associated with noninferior 1-year rates of MACE compared with durable polymer SES.
