Table 4.
Left ventricular ejection fraction (%) of 5 pigs per group before treatment and at 28-day follow-up after treatment of two coronary arteries with paclitaxel/resveratrol-coated balloons (3.5 × 20 mm)
Groups | Coated 3 µg/mm2 | Coated 2 × 5 µg/mm2 | Uncoated | p |
---|---|---|---|---|
EF before treatment (%) | 42.0 ± 8.3 | 40.1 ± 4.4 | 45.4 ± 9.9 | 0.573 |
EF at 28 days (%) | 39.5 ± 6.5 | 34.7 ± 4.3 | 39.0 ± 6.2 | 0.375 |
Delta EF (%) | − 2.5 ± 8.1 | − 5.4 ± 7.0 | − 6.4 ± 4.2 | 0.642 |
Balloons with premounted stents except 2 × 5 µg/mm2 (= 2 balloons deployed in the same vessel segment, the first one with stent, the second one without stent). Delta EF is the difference from day 28 to before treatment
