PATIENTS WHO ARE KNOWN TO BE AT HIGH-RISK FOR RESTENOSIS AND THROMBOSIS INCLUDE THOSE WITH DIABETES, LONG LESIONS, SMALL VESSELS, BIFURCATIONS, AND RESTENOTIC LESIONS. BASED ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DRAW A CONCLUSION ABOUT A CLINICAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE DEVICE AND THE EVENT.
