Data are presented as median (interquartile range) for continuous variables and N (%) for categorical variables. The Chi-square or Fisher exact test for categorical variables and the Mann-Whitney U test for continuous variables. BVS, bioresorbable vascular scaffold; DES, drug-eluting stent; TLF, target lesion failure; TLR, target lesion revascularization; TVR, target vessel revascularization; MI, myocardial infarction.
