Late coronary aneurysm formation was observed following treatment by directional coronary atherectomy. Intravascular ultrasound disclosed that the mechanism involved was plaque rupture. The cause of coronary aneurysm may be multifactorial after coronary interventions. Intravascular ultrasound imagin
Letters to the Editor 345 that the mid chest level as a reference point may not be accurate, particularly in patients with enlarged hearts. I think this is an important factor to be considered when the fluid filled catheter system is used for measuring pressure, especially in a low pressure chamber
## Abstract The purpose of this study was to clarify predictors of vessel remodeling following directional coronary atherectomy (DCA). Negative remodeling after DCA leads to restenosis. However, little is known about the predictors of the vessel remodeling. Serial IVUS was performed in 43 lesions.
Directional atherectomy is an alternative device for treatment of highly eccentric or proximal coronary lesions considered less suitable for balloon angioplasty. We report a patient with exuberant neointimal proliferation, extending into the left main coronary artery, following directional atherecto
