Thrombus burden was significantly smaller with DES than with BMS at 1-month follow-up in STEMI cases, although the percentage of malapposed or uncovered struts was similar between the groups. This may partly explain the lower rate of acute and subacute stent thrombosis in G2-DES that has previously been reported in the literature.
