Luminal area shrinkage follows vessel elastic recoil as determined by mapping the lumen cross-sectional area to the EEL cross sectional area manually traced in OCT frames of three of the extremely malapposed vessels (malapposition at baseline >4*strut-widths). Lumen and EEL CSA normalized to the reference non-stented lumen dimension in each vessel correlated with near unity linear regression slopes close to 1 (βvessel 1 = 0.84 (blue), βvessel 2 = 0.95 (yellow), βvessel 3 = 0.97 (black)).
