title: Serial intravascular ultrasound and quantitative coronary angiography after self-expandable wallstent coronary artery implantation.
abstract: Serial intracoronary ultrasound studies revealed significant postprocedural stent expansion accompanied by significant stent shortening during long-term follow-up. The disadvantageous lumen loss by neointimal formation could be balanced by late stent expansion.
