Figure 3 Incidence of PP in Relation to the Remodeling Pattern
Remodeling index was defined as the lesion site external elastic membrane (EEM) cross-sectional area (CSA) divided by the average of the proximal and distal reference EEM CSA. Positive remodeling (n = 113) was defined as a remodeling index >1.05, intermediate remodeling (n = 75) as a remodeling index between 0.95 and 1.05, and negative remodeling (n = 122) as a remodeling index <0.95. The PP was most frequently observed in the group showing positive remodeling compared with the groups showing intermediate or negative remodeling.
