  1. The results from quantitative IVUS image analysis are similar between patients with and without recurrent ischemic events during follow-up. A significant increase in percent plaque area (CSN) was observed in patients with restenosis at the 6-month follow-up (**p = 0.015 by Mann–Whitney U test).
