View larger version (75K): [in a new window]   Figure 1 Representative IVUS images of a lesion with PR before intervention. After stenting, MSA of 11.2 mm2 was obtained with IVUS guidance. IVUS = intravascular ultrasound; MSA = minimal stent area; PR = positive remodeling; VA = vessel area.

View larger version (70K): [in a new window]   Figure 2 Representative IVUS images of a lesion with NR. After IVUS-guided stenting, minimal stent area of 8.3 mm2 was achieved. IVUS = intravascular ultrasound; MSA = minimal stent area; NR = negative remodeling; VA = vessel area.
