6 Background Although previous intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) studies have shown that is related to restenosis and revascularization after bare-metal stent (BMS) implantation, its long-term prognostic impact is still unknown.

7 Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the longterm impact of culprit lesion arterial remodeling on prognosis in patients with ACS.

8 Study population A total of 134 ACS patients with pre- and post-intervention IVUS Acute myocardial infarction: 103 patients Unstable angina: 31 patients Okura H et al. Heart 2007;93:

9 IVUS Imaging protocol Mechanical ultrasound system (Boston Scientific Corporation) with 40 MHz transducer. Automated pullback (0.5 mm/sec) External elastic membrane (EEM), plaque plus media (P+M) and lumen cross sectional areas (CSA), minimal stent area (MSA).
