Δ Average plaque burden (%) −7.3 −12.1 to −2.5 0.005 −7.0 −11.6 to −2.4 0.006

Unadjusted and adjusted estimates comparing the changes in total atheroma value, percent atheroma value and plaque burden in DCB-PTA vs. PTA (measured as Δ change) derived from generalized linear regression models with 95% confidence intervals.
