Impact of the Balloon Inflation Time and Pattern on the Coronary Stent Expansion

Figure 4

Comparison of in-stent diameter and CSA of multi-inflation time (MIT) 0 to 30 (5, 10, 20, 30 seconds of summarized time) to the one-time inflation (OTI) time 0 to 30 seconds by IVUS and OCT. Abbreviations: CSA: cross-section area; IVUS: intravascular ultrasonography; MD: multideploying; OCT: optical coherence tomography; OTD: one-time deploying.
