Figure 4 OCT and IVUS Findings After PCI in UAP and SAP Patients
(A) In the OCT analysis, although the incidence of stent edge dissection was not different between UAP and SAP, the incidence of inadequate stent apposition (*p = 0.038), tissue protrusion ( p = 0.005) and intracoronary thrombus ( p < 0.001) in UAP was significantly higher than that in SAP. (B) In the IVUS analysis, the incidence of inadequate lesion findings after stenting was similar in both groups. IVUS = intravascular ultrasound; OCT = optical coherence tomography; PCI = percutaneous coronary intervention; SAP = stable angina pectoris; UAP = unstable angina pectoris.
