Can an ultrathin strut stent design and a polymer free, proendothelializing probucol matrix coating improve early strut healing? The FRIENDLY-OCT trial. An intra-patient randomized study with OCT, evaluating early strut coverage of a novel probucol coated polymer-free and ultra-thin strut sirolimus-eluting stent compared to a biodegradable polymer sirolimus-eluting stent.

Article Synopsis
- Incomplete strut coverage can increase the risk of stent thrombosis shortly after stent placement, prompting the investigation of a new stent type.
- A clinical trial compared a novel probucol coated ultra-thin strut sirolimus eluting stent (PF-SES) to a traditional bioresorbable polymer stent (BP-SES) in patients requiring PCI.
- Results showed that PF-SES had significantly better strut coverage at 3 months, with lower rates of uncovered struts, although there were no differences in major adverse cardiac events after 12 months.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine how sex influences prognosis after a first ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) while considering factors like age and comorbidities.
- 14,690 first STEMI patients were analyzed, revealing that while women had similar 30-day complication rates as men, they exhibited lower 1-year mortality rates.
- Over the study period, the time to artery opening decreased and primary PCI rates improved for both sexes, indicating enhanced emergency care responsiveness.
Objective: This study assessed the role of heart transplantation (HTx) in the management of patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) complicated by refractory cardiogenic shock despite percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The primary end-point of the study was mortality at the 1-year follow-up.
Methods: Between January 2001 and December 2005, 74 consecutive patients with acute MI complicated with cardiogenic shock were retrospectively analyzed.
