Total PD = Total number of plaque disruptions; NS = No significant difference >50% = Number of segments greater than 50% stenosis
Table 4: Compares the frequency of plaque disruptions in diabetic and nondiabetic patients, their location in either the proximal or distal segments and the frequency of associated luminal thrombosis.
