Angiography-based stent size prediction for the proximal and distal vessels was compared to the implanted stent diameter after IVUS assessment. Angiography-based stent size prediction for the proximal vessel was 3.09 \u00b1 0.41, whereas IVUS use demonstrated larger vessel diameter, resulting in larger implanted stent diameter (3.24 \u00b1 0.45, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001). Proximal vessel stent size prediction was underestimated in the majority of patients by angiographic estimation.
