Figure 3 Logistic regression analysis of lesion length versus major adverse cardiac events (MACE) (top) and restenosis rate (bottom). Both relationships show an advantage of stenting over balloon angioplasty (BA) for shorter lesions; however, in the additional stenting group, there is a significant incremental increase in restenosis and MACE with increased lesion length, a phenomenon that is not seen with BA.
