Vascular remodeling and plaque composition between focal and diffuse coronary lesions assessed by intravascular ultrasound.
Coronary remodeling and plaque composition were compared between focal and diffuse coronary lesions. Negative remodeling and fibrous and calcified plaque compositions contribute to stenosis development in diffuse lesions more frequently than in focal lesions.
