Text: Patients 65 years of age (elderly) treated with EES vs. PES had lower in-segment late lumen loss (0. 110. 32 mm vs. 0. 380. 55 mm, respectively, p = 0. 0002) and lower rates of binary in-segment restenosis (3. 4 % vs. 15. 5 %, p = 0. 004) at eight months, along with a 48 % lower incidence of 3-year target vessel failure (TVF = cardiac death, myocardial infarction and ischaemia-driven target vessel revascularisation [TVR] ; 10. 8 % vs. 20. 8 %, p = 0. 009), mainly due to a lower incidence of TVR (5. 4 % vs. 9. 2 %, p = 0. 20).
