Background The relative safety of drug‐eluting stents (DES) and bare‐metal stents (BMS) in primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) continues to be debated. The long‐term clinical outcomes between second generation DES and BMS for primary percut...
