Purpose: Detection of restenosis by morphologic differentiation of perfused lumen from plaque is an unresolved issue for ultrasonography (US). We intended to quantitatively assess target lumen reduction (TLR) as a marker of sonografic morphometry by intensity-coded power doppler (ICPD) as compared to conventional Color-Doppler (CCD), hemodynamic changes in flow velocity and angiography. Patients and methods: US was performed with a IU 22 (Philips, Hamburg Germany) using a linear 4–8 Mhz probe. For CCD and ICPD dynamic range, persistence, line density and priority were adjusted to maximum sensitivity. Prospective…
