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 with a conventional transducer positioned at an "imaginary" reference point.
I believe that a further study using the conventional fluid filled system and the high fidelity transducer catheter may answer these question.

## 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.
Manipulation of thin-walled coronary guiding catheters, especially directional coronary atherectomy guides, may sometimes be difficult. This is particularly so in patients with tortuous or ectatic aorto-iliac arterial systems. To improve torque transmission and eliminate kinking, the introducer cath
