Figure 1 Identical site in the left anterior descending artery from a baseline (A) and one-year follow-up (B) study. The lesion in the baseline image is from atherosclerosis transmitted from donor with maximum plaque thickness of 0.5 mm. The branch vessel (arrow) along with angiographic landmarks help to identify the same site from the follow-up study. This is an example of donor lesion progression where the maximum plaque thickness is increased by 0.4 mm at follow-up study.
