OBJECTIVES: The Intracoronary Stenting and Antithrombotic Regimen (ISAR) trial is a randomized comparison of combined antiplatelet with anticoagulant therapy after coronary Palmaz-Schatz stent placement. The objective of this study was to compare early and late clinical and angiographic outcome in a subgroup of patients with stent placement for acute myocardial infarction. BACKGROUND: Stenting has become a treatment option for acute myocardial infarction, but it is not known which antithrombotic regimen is more adequate after stent implantation. METHODS: One hundred twenty-three patients with successful stenting after acute myocardial infarction were randomized to receive aspirin plus ticlopidine (n = 61) or intense anticoagulant therapy (n = 62). Six-month repeat angiography was performed in 101 (86.3%) eligible patients. RESULTS: During the first 30 days after stenting, patients with antiplatelet therapy had a significantly lower clinical event rate (3.3% vs. 21.0%, p = 0.005) and stent vessel occlusion rate (0% vs. 9.7%, p = 0.03) and a trend to fewer cardiac events (1.6% vs. 9.7%, p = 0.12). After 6 months, the survival rate free of recurrent myocardial infarction was higher in patients with antiplatelet therapy (100% vs. 90.3%, p = 0.03), and the rate of stent vessel occlusion was lower (1.6% vs. 14.5%, p = 0.02). Both groups had comparable restenosis rates (26.5% vs. 26.9%, p = 0.87). CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that combined antiplatelet therapy after stent placement in patients with acute myocardial infarction is associated with an overall better clinical and angiographic outcome than anticoagulant therapy.
