Coronary angiography and schematic model illustrating a segmental approach to analyze and report the effects of drug-eluting stents on coronary arteries. Right panel: A indicates in-stent, which better describes the antiproliferative effect of the biological agent; B, proximal edge (5 mm); C, distal edge (5 mm); and D, in-lesion indicates potential paradoxical effects of low drug concentrations at traumatized stent edges (“edge effect”); and E, in-segment, which is the ultimate determinant of angiographic success from a patient’s perspective.
