Figure 2 Scatter plot shows correlation between in-stent late loss and non-intervened, reference segment late loss: (A) heart transplant patients and (B) native atherosclerosis patients. For each individual post-transplant patient, in-stent late lumen loss was closely coupled to late lumen loss of the individual matched non-intervened segment, in both the Sheba Medical Center and Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) patient populations. In contrast, no such coupling of in-stent and reference vessel late loss was found in native atherosclerosis patients.
