Figure 1 Example of a Patent Stent

Conventional coronary angiography (A) showed patency of a stent (Cypher, 3.0 x 18 mm) placed in the left circumflex coronary artery. (B and C) Two orthogonal curved multiplanar reconstructions obtained with 64-slice MSCT (Siemens Sensation, kernel B46f) are provided, also showing patency of the stent. MSCT = multislice computed tomography.
