Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Rate of stent-strut coverage determined by OFDI at 3 months after stent placement (To observe temporal course from the early stage, the rate of stent-strut coverage in the 1-month arm will also be evaluated in a complementary manner, separately from the 3-month arm.) | — |
