Abstract
Automated 3-dimensional intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) analysis was used t o assess status of the treated coronary artery immediately and 6 months aft er placement of a self-expanding Radius stent in 15 patients. Serial 3-dime nsional IVUS analysis demonstrated gradual stent expansion that countered n eointimal proliferation and preserved the lumen.
