Pathological mechanisms of left main stent failure
2018, International Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :It seems natural to think that intravascular imaging may improve outcomes in LM PCI because it might improve placement. IVUS usage for LM-CAD treatment has a long history and was first reported as long as two decades ago [30]. According to a recently published paper of LM-CAD PCI from the largest registry (n = 2468, SCAAR [Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry]), IVUS assisted LM PCI showed significantly lower occurrence of the primary composite end point of all-cause mortality, restenosis, or definite stent thrombosis (hazard ratio, 0.65; 95% confidence interval, 0.50–0.84) and all-cause mortality alone (hazard ratio, 0.62; 95% confidence interval, 0.47–0.82).

2005, Journal of the American College of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :Preintervention and postintervention IVUS images were obtained after administering 0.2 mg intracoronary nitroglycerin using a commercial IVUS system (SciMed/Boston Scientific, San Jose, California) and motorized pullback at 0.5 mm/s. The external elastic membrane (EEM) and lumen cross-sectional areas (CSA) were measured using computerized planimetry, according to validated and published protocols (16–18). The plaque burden (%) was measured as: 100 × (EEM CSA − lumen CSA)/EEM CSA.
