Data are expressed as median and IQR or mean±SE of the mean. Statistical analyses are performed using repeated measures ANOVA (Friedman's test for non-parametric data) and Bonferroni's or Dunn's Multiple comparison test, where appropriate. Comparisons between time points are made using a paired Student's t test or Wilcoxon test, where appropriate.
*p<0.05 and **p=0.001 for preprocedure versus time point.
†Between group baseline comparison was made for each variable using a Mann-Whitney or unpaired Student t test, where appropriate.
ANOVA, analysis of variance; CRP, C reactive protein; PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention; VEGF-A, vascular endothelial growth factor-A.
