Table 4 IVUS stent length measurements and manufacturer stent length (manufacturer-stated length and foreshortened length)

From: In vivo measurement of stent length by using intravascular ultrasound

 

Measurements, mm

E-E length*

18.76 (15.65–23.60)

A-A length†

18.36 (15.19–23.47)

M-L length

18.0 (15.0–23.0)

Calculated foreshortened stent length

17.84 (14.59–22.79)

  1. Data are given as median (IQR)
  2. E-E length edge-to-edge stent length, A-A length area-to-area stent length, M-L length manufacturer-stated length
  3. *p < 0.0001 is for E-E length versus M-L length, calculated foreshortened stent length and A-A length
  4. †p < 0.0001 is for A-A length versus M-L length and calculated foreshortened stent length
