Serial volumetric intravascular ultrasound assessment of arterial remodeling in left main coronary artery disease

Serial volumetric intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) was used to study de novo, nontreated left main coronary arteries (LMCAs) in 31 patients. Using an automated contour detection algorithm, analysis of 7.2 ± 2.5 mm long segments included arterial, lumen, and plaque volumes and plaque burden (plaque/ar...

Zusammenfassung:	Serial volumetric intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) was used to study de novo, nontreated left main coronary arteries (LMCAs) in 31 patients. Using an automated contour detection algorithm, analysis of 7.2 ± 2.5 mm long segments included arterial, lumen, and plaque volumes and plaque burden (plaque/arterial volumes). During follow-up (7.7 ± 2.4 months), the percent change in lumen volume correlated with the percent change in arterial volume (r = 0.897, p
