Abstract

Three-dimensional reconstructions of 19 coronary artery stents from biplane angiograms were used for measurement of the volume through which the stents traversed during the cardiac cycle. This volume, less than 0.8% of the whole heart volume in all patients, represents a target volume for high-precision radiotherapy to treat coronary artery in-stent restenosis.
