Self-Expanding Versus Balloon Expanding Coronary Stents in Intervention of the Degenerated Saphenous Vein Graft: Memmingen Coronary Artery Bypass Stenosis Trial (MECAST)

Figure 4

(a) MACE timeline of SExS and BExS patient groups. MACE = major adverse cardiac event; SExS = self-expanding drug eluting stent; BExS = balloon expanding drug eluting stent; TVR = target vessel revascularization; TLR = target lesion revascularization; AMI = acute myocardial infarction. (b) Mean event rates in BExS patient group compared to SExS group. SExS = self-expanding drug eluting stent; BExS = balloon expanding drug eluting stent; MACE = major adverse cardiac event; AMI = acute myocardial infarction; TLR = target lesion revascularization; TVR = target vessel revascularization.
