Abstract
Preangioplasty intravascular ultrasound in 81 patients showed that ada ptive remodeling occurred in 35% and constrictive remodeling in 34470. Multivariate analysis showed that smoking and fibrocalcific plaques w ere associated with constrictive remodeling, whereas small vessel size and hypercholesterolemia were associated with adaptive remodeling.
