Outcome(s)

Primary OutcomeThe frequency of neoatherosclerosis which is defined as the presence of a fibroatheroma or fibrocalcific plaques or macrophages within the neointima of a stented segment with a longitudinal extension of greater than or equal to 1 mm in optical coherence tomography (OCT) at 3 years.
Secondary Outcome1. Athero-thrombotic material area (tissue protrusion plus isolated intraluminal defect) within the stent struts after primary PCI 2. Clinical endpoints throughout 3 years Clinically and non-clinically indicated target lesion revascularization (TLR) Clinically and non-clinicall indicated target vessel revascularization (TVR) All deaths (cardiac and non-cardiac) Myocardial infarction (Q-wave and NQWMI) Stent thrombosis rate defined as definite, probable, possible, and overall stent thrombosis (according to ARC definition) 3. Angiographic endpoints throughout 3 years In-stent and in-segment binary restenosis rate In-stent and in-segment minimal luminal diameter (MLD) In-stent and segment percent diameter stenosis In-stent and in-segment late luminal loss 4. OCT-derived endpoints throughout 3 years Percentage of neoatherosclerosis Percentage of fibroatheroma (thin cap fibroatheroma, thick cap fibroatheroma) Percentage of fibrocalcific plaque Percentage of macrophage Percentage of uncovered struts Percentage of malapposed struts Percentage of lesions with malapposed struts Mean area of neointimal hyperplasia Neointimal hyperplasia volume Percent neointimal hyperplasia obstruction Descriptive Analysis of morphometric, lesion composition and stent strut data
