TL;DR: It is concluded that IVUS and QCA are more appropriate for the assessment of optimal stent deployment and fractional flow reserve (FFR) discriminates between suboptimally and optimally deployed stents.

TL;DR: Lesions without SES underexpansion at the minimum lumen site had more IH and greater nonuniform stent strut distribution compared with restenotic SESs that were undereexpanded, and the IH response did not appear to be more aggressive in patients with diabetes mellitus than in those without diabetes mell Titus.

TL;DR: A method for measuring the transverse flow through the imaging plane of an intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) catheter, developed for an array system, with the great advantage of an array over the single element approach.

TL;DR: A novel uncertainty (confidence) estimation method is presented, modeling the problem through random walk under particular constrains motivated by underlying physics of ultrasound, and demonstrating that constructed confidence maps can then be employed in different ultrasound based CAD algorithms, which ultimately improve experts qualitative and quantitative assessments.

TL;DR: A suboptimal coronary flow reserve was associated with a chronically elevated baseline average peak velocity, a transient deficit in the hyperaemic average peak velocities the elderly, and female gender.
