10-Years Follow-up of the EXAMINATION Trial

Ten-year Follow-up of the Clinical Evaluation of Everolimus-Eluting Coronary Stents in the Treatment of Patients With ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: EXAMINATION-EXTEND Trial

The EXAMINATION trial was a superiority trial that compared everolimus-eluting stents (EES) versus bare-metal stents (BMS) in an all-comer ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) population. The patient-oriented endpoint was not superior at 1-year, but it was at 5-year. However, very-long term follow-up is unknown. The study had an independent Clinical event Committee (CEC). All events were adjudicated by an independent clinical committee, according to the Academic Research Consortium 1.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients who were enrolled in the EXAMINATION trial (NCT00828087).

Exclusion Criteria:

• None.
