“…Variables previously reported to influence TLR or MACE were also entered into the multivariate model, such as diabetes mellitus, 14 chronic kidney disease (CKD), 15 2 stent technique to both MV and SB, 16 and FKB. 6 The following patient level candidate predictors were evaluated in step-wise variable selection: age, being male, current smoking, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, chronic heart failure, dialysis, presence of peripheral artery disease, unstable angina, prior PCI, prior myocardial infarction, lesion in the left anterior descending artery (LAD), whether an emergency procedure was performed, in-stent restenosis, multiple stents (≥2 stents per lesion), MV post-MLD, IVUS usage, stent maximum deployment pressure, Figure 2B). Long-term dual antiplatelet therapy use was similar between the FKB-and no-FKB groups as well as between the no-FKB and the singlestent-use groups ( Table 2).…”
