Figure 1.
Angiographic (top panels) and intravascular ultrasound (bottom panels) findings in a patient with ostial left anterior descending coronary artery lesion (Left panels). The lesion was successfully treated with directional coronary atherectomy (DCA; Middle panels). However, seven months later, the patient returned with recurrent symptoms and restenosis (Right panels). Intravascular ultrasound demonstrated chronic geometric remodeling as the predominant mechanism of restenosis rather than neointimal hyperplasia. (Reproduced by permission from reference 7).

Figure 2.
The ostial right coronary artery lesion was successfully treated with a Palmaz-Schatz stent (JJIS; Left panels). When the patient returned with restenosis (Right panels), intravascular ultrasound showed no change in stent dimension but severe neointimal hyperplasia as the cause of the in-stent restenosis.
