Title: Drug Elution and DIstal Protection During Percutaneous CoronAry Intervention in sT Elevation Myocardial InfarctiON. Acronym: Dedication
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical, echocardiographic and angiographic outcome of distal protection in the infarct related coronary artery and implantation of drug eluting versus bare metal stents in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarctions treated acutely with percutaneous coronary intervention.

C: Inclusion Criteria:

A) low restenosis risk based on angiographic findings defined as follows:

----patients will be considered at low restenosis risk if no planned stent lower than 3.0 mm is intended to be implanted in lesions expect left main or vein graft

3. Previous bleeding episode(s) which required hospitalization if the bleeding diathesis has not been completely resolved (i.e. surgical removal of the bleeding source)
4. Age greater than 80
5. Systemic conditions associated to increased bleeding risk (e.g. hematological disorders or any known coagulopathy determining bleeding diathesis, including history of or current thrombocytopenia defined as platelet count \<100,000/mm3 (\<100 x 109/L).
6. Known Anemia defined as repeatedly documented hemoglobin lower than 10 gr/dl which is not due to an acute and documented blood loss
