Independent association of the discrepancy between 3D QCA and IVUS/OCT long diameter with vessel curvature and catheter looseness

IVUS—3D QCA OCT—3D QCA
βa (95% CI) P βa (95% CI) P
Vessel curvature 5.32 (0.80–9.85) 0.02 4.63 (0.66–8.59) 0.02
Catheter looseness 0.20 (0.04–0.37) 0.02 0.14(0.10–0.26) 0.04

aMultiple linear regression adjusted for catheter looseness and vessel curvature. β indicates unstandardized β coefficient. CI Confidence interval; n = 40 vessels from 37 patients
