Percutaneous angioscopic evaluation of luminal changes induced by excimer laser angioplasty.

abstract：:We evaluated the long-term angiographic outcome of balloon angioplasty by comparing original and follow-up target coronary narrowing. Rather than using restenosis to determine outcome, as in most angioplasty studies, we took an unusual approach and analyzed outcome in terms that are commonly used in progression and re...
