Comparison of First- and Second-Generation Drug-Eluting Stents in Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Based on Pre-Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction Flow Grade.

JOURNAL OF CLINICAL MEDICINE

This study aims to investigate the two-year clinical outcomes between first-generation (1G) and second-generation (2G) drug-eluting stents (DES) based on pre-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade (pre-TIMI) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Overall, 17,891 STEMI patients were classified into two groups: pre-TIMI 0/1 group (n = 12,862; 1G-DES (n = 4318), 2G-DES (n = 8544)) and pre-TIMI 2/3 group (n = 5029; 1G-DES (n = 2046), 2G-DES (n = 2983)). During a two-year follow-up period, major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) defined as all-cause death, recurrent myocardial infarction (re-MI), or any repeat revascularization and stent thrombosis (ST) were considered as the primary and the secondary outcomes. In the pre-TIMI 0/1 and 2/3 groups, the cumulative incidences of MACEs (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR): 1.348, p < 0.001, and aHR: 1.415, p = 0.02, respectively) and any repeat revascularization (aHR: 1.938, p < 0.001, and aHR: 1.674, p = 0.001, respectively) were significantly higher in the 1G-DES than in the 2G-DES. However, sirolimus-eluting stent showed similar cumulative incidence of any repeat revascularization compared with zotarolimus-eluting stent and biolimus-eluting stent in both pre-TIMI 0/1 and 2/3 groups. The cumulative incidences of all-cause death, re-MI, and ST were similar between the 1G-DES and 2G-DES groups. In this study, 2G-DES showed better clinical outcomes than 1G-DES concerning MACEs and any repeat revascularization regardless of pre-TIMI. However, more research is needed to support these results.
