Abstract
In 382 de novo lesions in native coronary arteries, clinical and angiograph ic predictors of a large discrepancy in vessel diameter between intravascul ar ultrasound and quantitative angiography were evaluated. The discrepancy was highest in diabetics, in vessels <3.0 mm on angiography, and in the pro ximal segments of the coronary tree.
