Intravascular ultrasound radiofrequency analysis after optimal coronary stenting with initial quantitative coronary angiography guidance: An ATHEROREMO sub-study

Abstract

Aims: To investigate whether the use of intravascular ultrasound virtual histology (IVUS-VH) leads to any improvements in stent deployment, when performed in patients considered to have had an optimal percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) by quantitative coronary angiography (QCA). Methods and results: After optimal PCI result (residual stenosis by QCA <30%), IVUS-VH was performed in 100 patients by protocol, with the option to use the information le
