An optimal diagnostic threshold for minimal stent area to predict target lesion revascularization following stent implantation in native coronary lesions
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging has been used to optimize stent implantation in coronary arteries. Despite optimum angiographic appearance, stents are often underexpanded using IVUS criteria. Morino et al determined a binary threshold for minimal stent area that minimizes target lesion revas...

Zusammenfassung: | Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging has been used to optimize stent implantation in coronary arteries. Despite optimum angiographic appearance, stents are often underexpanded using IVUS criteria. Morino et al determined a binary threshold for minimal stent area that minimizes target lesion revascularization. |
