Remodeling of atherosclerotic coronary arteries assessed with intravascular ultrasound in vitro

Am J Cardiol. 1997 Mar 1;79(5):699-702. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9149(96)00849-1.

Abstract

This study investigated remodeling in human coronary arteries with intravascular ultrasound. We conclude that regression analysis performed by Glagov et al and adopted by others is reproducible but is unable to discern shrinkage of the vessel area.
