Table 2. Clinical outcomes according to presence of scaffold discontinuity assessed by means of optical coherence tomography.

Discontinuity (n=5) No discontinuity (n=44) Difference (95% CI) p-value
Patient-oriented composite endpoint 1 (20.0) 9 (20.5) –0.5 (–37.5 to 36.6) 1.000
Device-oriented composite endpoint 1 (20.0) 5 (11.4) 8.6 (–27.7 to 44.9) 0.495
All-cause death 0 (0.0) 0 (0.0)
Myocardial infarction 0 (0.0) 0 (0.0)
Definite or probable device thrombosis 0 (0.0) 0 (0.0)
Target lesion revascularisation 1 (20.0) 5 (11.4) 8.6 (–27.7 to 44.9) 0.495
Target vessel revascularisation 1 (20.0) 7 (15.9) 4.1 (–32.6 to 40.8) 1.000
Non-target vessel revascularisation 0 (0.0) 3 (6.8) –6.8 (–14.3 to 0.6) 1.000
Data are presented as n (%). *Device-oriented composite endpoint is defined as the composite of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, and target lesion revascularisation. Patient-oriented composite endpoint is defined as the composite of all-cause death, any myocardial infarction, and any revascularisation. 95% CI: 95% confidence interval; MgBRS: magnesium-based bioresorbable scaffold; SES: sirolimus-eluting stent
