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.
Introduction And Objectives: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) emergency care networks aim to increase reperfusion rates and reduce ischemic times. The influence of sex on prognosis is still being debated. Our objective was to analyze prognosis according to sex after a first STEMI.

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.
