vessel
Figure 4:The top panel demonstrates the cross-section of the vessel and the bottom panel is a longitudinal representation of the entire length of the vessel being scanned. The arrows demonstrate location in terms of the vessel. In this case, position #7 in the vessel reveals a positively remodelled vessel with stent malapposition. (The purple circle encompasses the circumference of the stent which is much smaller that the circumference of the entire vessel). In addition, multiple interstrut hollows (MIH), cavities between and outside the stent struts at the site of stent implantation, were identified which another finding is shown to be associated with ISA.
