Stent diameter	2.77±0.5	2.8±0.5	>0.05
Stent postdilatation	21 (42)	18 (36)	>0.05
TIMI 3 flow (after PCI)	20 (40)	38 (76)	<0.05

TIMI: thrombolysis in myocardial infarction; LAD: left anterior descending; LCx: left circumflex; RCA: right coronary artery.
Lesion length and stent length are presented as mean ± standard deviation. Other variables are presented as number (percentage).
