Low ankle brachial index predicts poor outcomes including target lesion revascularization during the long-term follow up after drug-eluting stent implantation for coronary artery disease.

•Low ankle brachial index (ABI) may be a predictor of poor outcomes after drug-eluting stent treatment.•Low ABI was associated with higher incidence of target lesion revascularization.•Low ABI was related to higher rate of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events.
