Summary

This study looks at 350 people who had a severe heart attack (STEMI) and received a stent. It compares the usual treatment—taking aspirin plus a second blood thinner for 6–12 months—against a newer approach: using a special stent that releases medication without a polymer, plus taking only one blood thinner (no aspirin). The goal is to see if the new plan lowers the risk of serious bleeding while still preventing future heart problems, strokes, or the need for another procedure.
