Abstract:Purpose
The prognostic implications of calcified versus non-calcified tissue protrusions (TPs) following stent implantation remain undetermined. This study aimed to evaluate the differential clinical outcomes associated with calcified and non-calcified TP morphologies.
Patients and Methods
Employing intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), we identified calcified TPs as calcium fragment extrusions permeating the stent struts, while non-calcified TPs were characterized as plaque… Show more
