Figure 1: Kaplan–Meier Estimates of Event Rates and Cardiac Mortality in Patients Treated with Drug-eluting Stents, Bare Metal Stents and Balloon Angioplasty for ST Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction at a Single Centre Over 16 Years.

Figure 1:

A: Stent or lesion thrombosis (ST/LT); B: target vessel re-infarction. Patients treated with both drug-eluting stent (DES) and bare metal stent (BMS) had greater frequency of ST/LT and target vessel re-infarction after 1 year compared with balloon angioplasty (BA). C: Kaplan–Meier estimates of cardiac mortality event rates at 0–1 year and >1 year in patients treated with stenting versus BA.
