Abstract: Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-derived minimum lumen cross-sectional area (MLA) is useful to predict myocardial ischemia using fractional flow reserve (FFR). Recent studies reported an increase in the intraluminal ultrasonic integrated backscatter (IB) value using IVUS across… read more here.

Abstract: Background: The mismatch between in-stent minimum lumen area (sMLA) and reference vessel lumen area, defined as stent underexpansion (SU), could be an important determinant of stent failure. We tested the clinical predictive value of absolute… read more here.
