Plus-minus values are means±SD. CABG = coronary artery bypass graft surgery; COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; EES = everolimus eluting stent; eGFR= estimated glomerular filtration rate; LAD = left anterior descending artery. ASD reported are percentages. ASD less than 10% denotes relatively small imbalance.
