Background Patients with ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing drug‐eluting stent (DES) implantation are at increased risk of late adverse events, partly explained by an exaggerated inflammatory reaction to durable‐polymer stent coatings. Objectives We sought to investigate whether implantation of polymer‐free DES would reduce this risk. Methods In the ISAR‐TEST 5 (the I ntracoronary S tenting and A ngiographic R esults: T est E fficacy of Sirolimus‐ and Probucol‐ and Zotarolimus‐Eluting St ents) trial, patients were randomly allocated to receive a polymer‐free sirolimus‐ and probucol‐eluting stent or a new generation durable‐polymer zotarolimus‐eluting stent. We analyzed late clinical outcomes in the subgroup of patients presenting with STEMI. The primary endpoint was the combined incidence of cardiac death, target vessel‐related myocardial infarction or target lesion revascularization at 5 years. Results 311 patients with STEMI were randomized to receive sirolimus‐ and probucol‐eluting stents ( n = 215) or zotarolimus‐eluting stents ( n = 96). At 5 years, there was no difference in the incidence of the primary endpoint in patients treated with sirolimus‐ and probucol‐eluting stents versus zotarolimus‐eluting stents (18.3% versus 20.1% respectively, hazard ratio = 0.87, 95% CI, 0.50–1.51; P = 0.62). Rates of the individual components of the primary endpoint were also comparable in both groups. The incidence of definite/probable stent thrombosis was 1.4% versus 1.0% respectively (hazard ratio = 1.35, 95% CI, 0.14–12.94, P = 0.80). Conclusions Long‐term outcomes of patients with STEMI treated with polymer‐free sirolimus‐ and probucol‐eluting stents versus durable‐polymer zotarolimus‐eluting stents were similar. Stent thrombosis rates were low and comparable in both treatment groups, with no events beyond 12 months.
