In this study, we demonstrate that coronary artery stents can be visualized by transthoracic 2-dimensional echocardiography. We were able to image stents in the left anterior descending coronary artery in 6 of 6 pigs and in 6 of 7 patients studied.
在本研究中，我们证明经胸二维超声心动图可使冠状动脉支架显影。在研究的6头猪中，我们能够对左前降支冠状动脉内的支架进行成像，在7例患者中有6例也能做到。
