Abstract
Quantitative Coronary Angiography (QCA) [1–12], has become the gold standard in the assessment of the immediate and long-term results of various coronary interventions, both pharmacological and mechanical. In particular, the incidence of restenosis or late luminal renarrowing after coronary intervention have become an important field of investigation [5]. With the advent of novel therapeutic interventional techniques such as intracoronary stenting, several new and unforeseen problems have emerged. In some circumstances, the principles of QCA had to be adapted to more complicated and complex situations related either to the device itself or to the effect of the intervention on the angiographic appearance of the treated artery. This chapter will focus on specific aspects of QCA and stent implantation.
