  • *Risk adjustment included age, sex, comorbidities according to the Elixhauser classification, shock, New York Heart Association class (I versus II, III or IV), left main CAD, multivessel disease (two or three vessels), number of PCI (one coronary artery versus a minimum of two) at index hospitalisation, AMI and dialysis in the year preceding admission and year of treatment.

  • BMS, bare metal stent; BVS, bio-resorbable vascular scaffold; CABG, coronary artery bypass graft; DES, drug-eluting stent; MACCE, major cerebrovascular and cardiovascular event; PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention.
