Brief Summary

Recent studies suggest important gender differences in the pathophysiology and prognosis of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This is the first prospective controlled study to assess gender differences in the mechanism of plaque rupture/erosion and thrombus formation in patients presenting with STEMI treated with primary angioplasty. Gender-related mechanisms of plaque rupture or erosion will be investigated using a combination of Quantitative Coronary Angiography (QCA), high resolution Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) of the culprit vessel and histopathology analyses of thrombus aspirates of the infarct related lesion, performed by independent core laboratories, blinded to group (male or female) and clinical variables. In OCTAVIA; enrollment in a 1:1 ratio according to gender group will be ensured by a computer-assisted matching algorithm for gender and age (\< 50, 51-70, and \> 70 years). Matching has the purpose to enable enrollment of an even number of male and female patients in balanced age groups. This type of dynamic algorithm is appropriate when the composition of the referral population is not known in advance. The sample size for the OCTAVIA study was calculated on the basis of per patient stent strut coverage (a continuous variable with right skewed distribution) with mean of 97.0% and standard deviation of 4.0% in men, versus mean of 95.0% and standard deviation of 4.0% in women, following XIENCE PRIME™ Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System implantation. Thus, aiming for a 5% 2-tailed superiority alpha, an 80% power, and assuming a 1:1 enrollment according to gender, a total of 64 patients per group should be enrolled. Anticipating a 10% dropout rate due to patients lost to follow-up and inadequate imaging (included major side branch sections), the total enrollment is set at 70 patients per group (total population of 140 subjects).
