Text: During a median follow-up of 1. 5 years the PES patients had less target lesion revascularization (28 % vs. 5 %, hazard ratio : 0. 38 ; 95 % CI : 0. 15 to 0. 74, p = 0. 003) and target vessel failure (46 % vs. 22 %, hazard ratio : 0. 65 ; 95 % CI : 0. 42 to 0. 96, p = 0. 03), a trend toward less target vessel revascularization (31 % vs. 15 %, hazard ratio : 0. 66 ; 95 % CI : 0. 39 to 1. 05, p = 0. 08) and myocardial infarction (31 % vs. 15 %, hazard ratio : 0. 67 ; 95 % CI : 0. 40 to 1. 08, p = 0. 10), and similar mortality (5 % vs. 12 %, hazard ratio : 1. 56 ; 95 % CI : 0. 72 to 4. 11, p = 0. 27).
