Figure 1 Cross-sectional (A and A') and longitudinal (B and B') intravascular ultrasound images of a coronary segment immediately after treatment and at follow-up. Luminal, plaque, and total vessel function curves are represented in the bottom charts (C and C'). In this example, a marked increment of intra-stent neointimal hyperplasia is shown.

Figure 2 Change in total vessel volume (TVV), plaque volume (PV), and luminal volume (LV) at the stented segment from post-treatment to follow-up between groups. Open bars = control group; shaded bars = brachytherapy group.

Figure 3 Absolute reduction in restenosis rates in the four prespecified coronary segments between groups. Open bars = control group; shaded bars = brachytherapy group.

Figure 4 Cumulative frequency distribution curves of MLD between groups at the target segment. By comparison, using the Student t test, the mean MLD at follow-up (F/U) became significant between groups (p > 0.0001).

Figure 5 Cumulative frequency distribution curves of minimal luminal diameter between groups at the vessel segment. By comparison, using the Student t test, the mean minimal luminal diameter at follow-up (F/U) was no longer significant between groups.
