Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Have prolonged, continuous (lasting at least 20 minutes) chest pain despite administration of nitrates and onset within 12 hours of randomization, and one of the following:
  • ST segment elevation \>=1mm in standard leads and \>=2mm in 2 or more contiguous precordial leads with reciprocal ST depression
  • New or presumably new left bundle branch block (LBBB)
  • The culprit lesion must be identified on a de novo native coronary artery and an emergency angioplasty must be possible. The culprit site must be visualized before the stent implantation;

Exclusion

  • Killip class \> 2 upon arrival to the cath-lab;
  • Significant (\>50%) stenosis proximal or distal to the target lesion that might require revascularization or impede inflow or runoff;
  • Evidence of massive thrombus in the infarct related artery distally to the culprit lesion;
  • Documented left ventricular ejection fraction \<=30%;
  • Target lesion is located in an arterial or venous by-pass graft;
  • ECG documented evidence of prior myocardial infarction;
  • Patient who received thrombolytic therapy for the current AMI before enrollment in this study.
