The healing response of the Firehawk stent in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains unclear.
We compared the vascular healing of a biodegradable polymer sirolimus-eluting stent (Firehawk) vs. a durable polymer everolimus-eluting stent (Xience) at 6 months after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with STEMI.
In this prospective, multicenter, randomized, non-inferiority study, patients within 12 h of STEMI onset were randomized in a ratio of 1:1 to receive Firehawk or Xience stents. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) follow-up was performed 6 months after the index procedure and assessed frame by frame. The primary endpoint was the neointimal thickness (NIT) at 6 months evaluated by OCT. The safety endpoint was target lesion failure (TLF) at 12 months.
The Firehawk stent was non-inferior to the Xience stent in terms of the neointimal thickness (73.03 ± 33.30 μm vs. 78.96 ± 33.29 μm; absolute difference: -5.94 [one-sided 95% lower confidence bound: -23.09]; < 0.001). No significant difference was observed between the Firehawk and Xience groups regarding the percentage of uncovered struts (0.55 [0.08, 1.32]% vs. 0.40 [0.21, 1.19]%, = 0.804), the percentage of malapposed struts (0.17 [0.00, 1.52]% vs. 0.17 [0.00, 0.69]%, = 0.662), and the healing score (1.56 [0.23, 5.74] vs. 2.12 [0.91, 3.81], = 0.647). At 12 months, one patient in the Firehawk group experienced a clinically indicated target lesion revascularization. No other TLF events occurred in both groups. Independent risk factors of the NIT included body mass index, hyperlipidemia, B2/C lesions, thrombus G3-G5, thrombus aspiration, and postdilation pressure.
In patients with STEMI, Firehawk was non-inferior to Xience in vascular healing at 6 months. Both stents exhibited nearly complete strut coverage, moderate neointimal formation, and minimal strut malapposition.

火鹰支架在ST段抬高型心肌梗死(STEMI)患者中的愈合反应尚不清楚。
我们比较了STEMI患者经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(PCI)后6个月时,生物可降解聚合物西罗莫司洗脱支架(火鹰)与耐用聚合物依维莫司洗脱支架(雅培Xience)的血管愈合情况。
在这项前瞻性、多中心、随机、非劣效性研究中,STEMI发病12小时内的患者按1:1比例随机接受火鹰或雅培Xience支架。在首次手术后6个月进行光学相干断层扫描(OCT)随访,并逐帧评估。主要终点是通过OCT评估的6个月时的新生内膜厚度(NIT)。安全终点是12个月时的靶病变失败(TLF)。
在新生内膜厚度方面,火鹰支架不劣于雅培Xience支架(73.03±33.30μm对78.96±33.29μm;绝对差异:-5.94[单侧95%置信下限:-23.09];P<0.001)。火鹰组和雅培Xience组在未覆盖支架百分比(0.55[0.08,1.32]%对0.40[0.21,1.19]%,P=0.804)、贴壁不良支架百分比(0.17[0.00,1.52]%对0.17[0.00,0.69]%,P=0.662)和愈合评分(1.56[0.23,5.74]对2.12[0.91,3.81],P=0.647)方面未观察到显著差异。在12个月时,火鹰组有1例患者进行了临床指征的靶病变血运重建。两组均未发生其他TLF事件。NIT的独立危险因素包括体重指数、高脂血症、B2/C型病变、血栓G3 - G5级、血栓抽吸和后扩张压力。
在STEMI患者中,火鹰支架在6个月时的血管愈合方面不劣于雅培Xience支架。两种支架均表现出几乎完全的支架覆盖、适度的新生内膜形成和最小程度的支架贴壁不良。
