Angiographic LL below a threshold value of 0.55 mm correlates poorly with NT obtained by OCT and histology. These results suggest a cautious interpretation is needed to evaluate angiographic endpoints in DES trials in which LL values below this threshold are reported.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
