Figure 2From: Focus on the research utility of intravascular ultrasound - comparison with other invasive modalities IVUS images showing optimal stent expansion (A); neointima formation (B) and late stent malaposition 6 months after a DES implantation (C). OCT imaging allows not only assessment of stent expansion but also evaluation of stent struts coverage (absence of coverage (D) vs. complete coverage (E)) and measurement of neointimal hyperplasia (F).Back to article page
