Figure 2 Relationship between postprocedural minimum stent area (MSA) and follow-up minimum lumen area (MLA). Sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) showed higher correlation than bare metal stents (BMS) (0.80 vs. 0.65) with a higher regression coefficient (0.92 vs. 0.59), indicating consistent efficacy of SES, irrespective of variable degrees of biological activity in each individual lesion.
