Text: In OCT follow-up (achieved in 86. 3 % of cases : BuMA, n = 33 ; EXCEL, n = 36), the percentage of stent strut coverage was significantly higher in the BuMA vs. the EXCEL group (strut level : 94. 2 % vs. 90. 0 %, p < 0. 01 ; p (non-inferiority) < 0. 0001 ; p (superiority) < 0. 0001), while the proportion of malapposed struts (strut level : 1. 28 % vs. 1. 80 %, p = 0. 51) and the mean neointimal thickness (strut level : 0. 070. 03 mm vs. 0. 060. 02 mm, p = 0. 31) were similar.
