We evaluated native coronary arteries treated by directional coronary atherectomy or balloon-expandable stent placement in an effort to derive a quantitative geometric model relating the luminal diameter immediately after intervention to that present 6 months later. The minimal luminal diameter of each lesion was measured before and immediately after intervention in 102 single Palmaz-Schatz stents and 134 directional atherectomies, 192 (81%) of which had repeat angiographic measurement of minimal luminal diameter 6 months after the intervention. The immediate enlargement in luminal diameter produced by the intervention (acute gain) and the subsequent reduction in luminal diameter from the time of intervention to 6 months of follow-up (late loss) were calculated.
