Primary and Rescue Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Paclitaxel-Eluting Stent Implantation in ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction

We conducted a retrospective comparison of paclitaxel-eluting stents (PESs, n = 60) versus bare metal stents (BMSs, n = 137) in consecutive patients who underwent primary or rescue percutaneous coronary intervention over 1 year.
