This study was designed to test the hypothesis that patients fulfilling intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) criteria for optimal coronary stent implantation show a reduction in the restenosis rate at 6 months. IVUS guidance for stent dilation may be associated with faciliated stent implantation and an i

## Abstract A coronary flow reserve (CFR) of 2.0 has been advocated as the endpoint for coronary intervention therapy. Experience shows, however, that CFR does indeed exceed 2.0 in many cases poststenting, while remaining below 2.0 in others. In this study, we assessed the clinical characteristics
## Abstract Spontaneous coronary dissection of a coronary artery is a rare cause of acute coronary syndrome. Optimal treatment has not yet been established. We describe a woman with spontaneous dissection of the left anterior descending artery who presented transitory angina and electrocardiographi
Intravascular ultrasound is widely used to guide coronary stent implantation. The key quantitative criterion for successful implantation is the demonstration of adequate expansion of the stented lumen relative to that of the adjacent reference vessel segments. In this study we aimed to establish the
## Abstract Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is useful in evaluating coronary stent deployment. The aim of this study was to assess the safety and utility of IVUS in carotid artery stenting (CAS). Ninetyβeight consecutive highβrisk patients (107 arteries) underwent CAS. IVUS was performed prior to p
