Implantation of early‐generation metallic drug‐eluting stents (DES) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is associated with poor vessel wall healing. Use of biodegradable polymer (BP) DES might improve safety outcomes; however, the impact of varying drug elution and polymer absorption kinetics of BP‐DES on clinical outcomes in the AMI population is unknown.
