Conditions

ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI)

Keywords

STEMI, DES, DCB

Brief summary

The objective of the study is to compare drug-coated balloon (DCB) with the gold standard drug-eluting stent (DES) in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Randomization will be performed after successful culprit-lesion preparation and confirmation that all angiographic entry criteria are met. Patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 fashion to receive either treatment with a Paclitaxel-coated balloon alone or second or third-generation DES.

Interventions

DEVICEDrug (paclitaxel) coated balloon (DCB)

In the experimental arm, a paclitaxel-coated balloon (DCB) delivering 3.0-3.5 µg/mm² will be used in STEMI patients after successful lesion preparation (defined as residual stenosis ≤30%, TIMI flow grade 2-3, and absence of flow-limiting dissection). If the result after DCB treatment is unsatisfactory, bailout implantation of a drug-eluting stent (DES) will be performed at the operator's discretion.

DEVICESecond-generation Drug Eluting Stent (DES)

In the control arm, patients randomized to the DES treatment group will undergo implantation of a second-generation drug-eluting stent (DES) using standard techniques, according to current practice guidelines
