Brief summary

The study aims to evaluate a modified antiplatelet therapy associated with Firehawk low-dose rapamycin DES in acute myocardial infarction patients treated with complete revascularization strategy. The modified antiplatelet therapy consists of a reduced duration of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy post procedure (ie. 1 month duration) followed by P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy for the next 11 months. It is hypothesized that in the setting of clinically stable, low to moderate complexity acute Myocardial Infarction patients, a modern approach combining a stent with high biocompatibility feature, complete revascularization strategy and modified antiplatelet therapy may be associated with similar outcomes, or even a significant benefit compared with guidelines-recommended 12-month DAPT. This benefit could be driven by a reduced risk in significant bleeding events, while keeping a comparable protection against ischemic risk. Enrolled subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either cessation of aspirin at 1 months, either continuation of DAPT. Selection of the P2Y12 inhibitor agent is left to investigator judgment but has to be in line with the current ESC guidelines. Subjects treated with the Firehawk or Firehawk Liberty coronary stent will be included in this study.

Interventions

DRUGShortened DAPT followed by P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy (cessation of aspirin)

Subjects will receive DAPT during 1 month post procedure, followed by P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy (cessation of aspirin) for the next 11 months

Subjects will receive standard treatment: P2Y12 inhibitor and aspirin (DAPT) during 12 months after procedure
