Variables in relation to mean neointimal tissue area, ratio of tissue to stent area, angiographic late loss, and angiographic minimum lumen diameter at the six month follow up, by univariate analysis

Variable	Mean T-CSA	Mean T-CSA: mean S-CSA	Angiographic late loss
Type of stent	p < 0.01^5-150	p < 0.01^5-150	p = 0.01^5-150
Palmaz-Schatz (n=121)	4.2 (1.9) mm²	50 (19)%	0.67 (0.47) mm
AVE (n=32)	2.95 (1.1) mm²	34 (11)%	0.91 (0.55) mm
Nir (26)	3.1 (1.2) mm²	35 (11)%	0.95 (0.55) mm

Angiographic lesion length		r = 0.56	r = 0.62	r = 0.20
Angiographic lesion length		p < 0.01^5-160	p < 0.01^5-160	p = 0.007^5-160

Angiographic MLD post-stent		r = 0.02	r = 0.28	r = 0.27
Angiographic MLD post-stent		p = 0.77^5-160	p < 0.01^5-160	p < 0.01^5-160

Values area mean (SD).
↵5-150 Results from analysis of variance;
↵5-160 r = Pearson correlation coefficient, results from linear regression.
