Plantaris tendon graft for atrioventricular valve repair: a novel hypothetical technique.

abstract：:Serial measurements of coronary plaque volume have been used to evaluate drug efficacy in atherosclerotic progression. However, the usefulness of computed tomography for this purpose is unknown. We investigated whether the change in total plaque volume on coronary computed tomographic angiography is associated with th...
