A detailed angiographic analysis of lumen dimensions before and after angioplasty and at follow-up study describing restenosis as a continuous phenomenon in terms of minimal lumen diameter and percentage diameter stenosis at follow-up study. Importantly, the final minimal lumen diameter is an independent predictor of minimal lumen diameter for balloon angioplasty, directional atherectomy, and stenting at follow-up study.

N Engl J Med 1993, 329:221-227. A multicenter study comparing 512 patients randomly allocated to directional atherectomy and 500 to angioplasty. Despite a better angiographic acute result, directional atherectomy was associated with more early complications and cost without apparent clinical benefit over angioplasty at 6 months after DCA. Only in the proximal LAD subset was a possible benefit indicated.
