Figure 3 Relationship of the severity of the restenosis, defined either as focal versus diffuse or the level of aggressiveness, and the final intra-stent cross-sectional area evaluated by intravascular ultrasound (mean ± SEM). The severity of the restenosis worsens as the final cross-sectional area decreases, using either assessment of the severity of the restenosis process.
