Figure 5

(a) Kaplan–Meier curve for cumulative MACE-free survival within 30 days in BExS and SExS patient groups (log rank ). SExS = self-expanding drug eluting stent; BExS = balloon expanding drug eluting stent. (b) Central illustration: Kaplan–Meier curve for cumulative MACE-free survival within one year in BExS and SExS patient groups (log rank ). SExS = self-expanding drug eluting stent; BExS = balloon expanding drug eluting stent. (c) Kaplan–Meier curve for cardiac death within 12 months in the BExS and SExS patient groups (log rank ). SExS = self-expanding drug eluting stent; BExS = balloon expanding drug eluting stent.
