lntravascular ultrasound (IVUS) was used to study 104 lesions in 98 patients after excimer laser coronary angioplasty (ELCA). Lesion site external elastic membrane (EEM) and lumen cross-sectional areas (CSA) were measured; plaque + media (P + M = EEMlumen) CSA and percentage of cross-sectional narro
