Serial automated three-dimensional intravascular ultrasound analysis of the self-expanding Radius stent.
Automated 3-dimensional intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) analysis was used to assess status of the treated coronary artery immediately and 6 months after placement of a self-expanding Radius stent in 15 patients. Serial 3-dimensional IVUS analysis demonstrated gradual stent expansion that countered neointimal proliferation and preserved the lumen.
