Neointimal thickness was significantly less at the high shear site as compared to the low shear in DES (0.07 [0.03, 0.15] versus 0.17 [0.09, 0.23] mm, P = 0.001), whereas this difference did not reach statistical significance for BMS cases (0.26 [0.16, 0.73] versus 0.44 [0.17, 0.67] mm, P = 0.25).

The sentences
Although difference remained of borderline significance because of limited sample size, a greater incidence of late/very late ST was documented in the DES group as compared to the BMS group at bifurcation sites (main vessel: 75% versus 36%, P = 0.06; side branch: 42% versus 14%, P = 0.19).
