This study evaluated an analogue laser optical disc (MVP) as an alternative for cinefilm angiography in the visual analysis of coronary angiograms. Visual analysis was performed independently by 5 observers using cinefilm and MVP before and after PTCA (194 coronary lesions in 88 patients) and the outcomes were compared with QCA. The mean percentage diameter stenosis on cinefilm and MVP yielded similar results compared to QCA. Regression analysis showed a good correlation between the mean cinefilm and MVP values per diameter stenosis (p < 0.001).="" bland-altman="" plots="" confirmed="" these="" findings.="" qualitative="" analysis="" for="" detection="" of="" coronary="" dissections="" after="" ptca="" showed="" an="" incidence="" of="" 31.3%="" (cinefilm)="" and="" 21.8%="" (mvp)="" (p="">< 0.05).="" the="" results="" of="" this="" study="" indicate="" that="" the="" visual="" analysis="" of="" the="" coronary="" angiograms="" using="" the="" analogue="" laser="" optical="" disc="" (mvp)="" yields="" similar="" results="" compared="" to="" the="" cinefilm="" concerning="" coronary="" lesion="" severity,="" although="" there="" is="" an="" underestimation="" of="" coronary="">
