Figure 1 Schematic representation of geographical miss (GM) and edge restenosis (ERS). (Top) During the procedure, the proximal segment represented GM (+) (treated lesion subjected to injury but not covered by the radiation catheter) and the distal segment represented GM () (treated lesion covered adequately with the radiation catheter). (Bottom) At follow-up this proximal edge with GM developed ERS and the distal edge without GM showed no ERS.
