Definition

Coronary lesions were morphologically classified as follows by a consensus of the same three angiographers on the basis of qualitative analysis of each lesion in at least two projections:

Type	Definition	Types of Concentric and Eccentric Stenoses
Concentric stenosis	Symmetric narrowing of a coronary artery. The borders of this lesion were smooth or only slightly irregular.
Eccentric stenosis	Asymmetric narrowing of a coronary artery. Two subgroups of eccentric lesions were categorized: Type I ccentric lesion: any asymmetric stenosis with smooth borders and a broad neck. Type II eccentric lesion: an asymmetric stenosis usually in the form of a convex intraluminal obstruction with a narrow base or neck due to one or more overhanging edges or borders that were very irregular or scalloped.
Multiple irregularities	Three or more serial and severe (≥70%) closely spaced obstructions in a coronary artery. This classification also included coronary arteries with severe diffuse irregularities or arteries in which the segment of a coronary artery between two severe obstructions also exhibited significant diffuse luminal irregularities.
