Brief Summary
This study is a prospective, randomized controlled, single blind, two-arm, multi center clinical evaluation. A total of 1500 patients will be enrolled in the study. Patient randomization will be to one of the two treatment arms: Everolimus arm or Non drug eluting stent arm. The objective of this study is to assess the safety and performance of the Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System versus a modified cobalt chromium balloon expandable stent in the setting of primary percutaneous coronary intervention for treatment of patients presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients presenting with a ST-elevation myocardial infarction who must meet at least one of the following criteria
- Patients presenting with a ST-elevation myocardial infarction \<12 hours after onset of symptoms who are treated with primary angioplasty + stent implantation
- Cardiogenic shock.
- Rescue PCI after failed thrombolysis.
- PCI indicated early (\<24h) after effective thrombolysis following current ESC guidelines.
- Patients presenting late ("latecomers") with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (\>12h-48h) after the onset of symptoms.
- Written informed consent.
- The patient or his/her family (in the event the patient can not be clinically available) accept clinical controls.
- Angiographic:
- Vessel size has to range between 2.25-4.0 mm by visual estimation to allow the implantation of currently available stents.
You may not qualify if:
- Age \< 18 years.
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Known intolerance to aspirin, clopidogrel, heparin, stainless steel, Everolimus, contrast material.
- Patients with absolute indication of being chronic treated with acenocoumarol
- Myocardial infarction due to a previously implanted stent thrombosis
- Patients with myocardial infarction that will require elective surgical coronary revascularisation within a 1 year period (example: inferior MI with severe disease in left main with surgical indication).
