Vessel Diameter Evaluated by Intravascular Ultrasound Versus Angiography

The current study revealed the difference between angiography-assessed reference lumen diameter and IVUS-assessed reference EEM diameter of FP lesions. About half of population had ΔRVD ≥1 mm. IVUS-assessed RVD was more likely to be different by angiography in cases with small vessels, CTO, bilateral calcification, and history of stent implantation.
