OBJECTIVES We examined the association between the features of the culprit lesion in
coronary artery disease (CAD) and clinical presentation as shown by intravascular …

Catheter‐based intravascular ultrasound is a relatively new imaging tool to examine
endovascular structure. One major goal for the development of intravascular ultrasound …

The mechanisms of immediate and late changes after percutaneous transluminal coronary
angioplasty (PTCA) and directional coronary atherectomy (DCA) were assessed by serial …

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has played an integral role in the evolution of interventional
cardiology. However, routine IVUS guidance of coronary stent implantation is not supported …

The ability to classify lesion composition accurately may be important for selecting or guiding
interventional therapy and for understanding the pathophysiologic basis of individual …

It was examined whether intracoronary ultrasound-defined plaque morphology of symptom-
producing, severely stenosed, atherosclerotic coronary artery lesions is related to patient …

Objective: To validate automated and quantitative three‐dimensional analysis of coronary
plaque composition using intracoronary ultrasound (ICUS). Background: ICUS displays …

Raw 30-MHz intravascular ultrasound data have been captured from postmortem coronary
arteries (n= 4) to develop radio frequency analysis techniques for the characterisation of …

Objectives. This study attempted to identify the clinical, angiographic, procedural and
intravascular ultrasound predictors of directional atherectomy results assessed by …
