IVUS-assessed inadequate remodeling was associated with lower atherectomy efficacy; hypothesis-generating for IVUS-guided lesion selection in prospective trials.
Does preintervention lesion remodelling affect plaque ablation and lumen volume gain during balloon optimised directional coronary atherectomy?
Preintervention lesion remodelling assessed by IVUS impacts the efficacy of directional coronary atherectomy, with less plaque ablation achieved in lesions lacking adequate compensatory enlargement.
