Late acquired stent malapposition detected by optical coherence tomography examination

Abstract Late stent malapposition may play a role in stent thrombosis, but the results of several intravascular ultrasound and few optical coherence tomography (OCT) studies are still controversial. We present a case of late acquired stent malapposition after drug eluting stent implantation, identif...

Description
Summary:Abstract Late stent malapposition may play a role in stent thrombosis, but the results of several intravascular ultrasound and few optical coherence tomography (OCT) studies are still controversial. We present a case of late acquired stent malapposition after drug eluting stent implantation, identified by follow-up OCT examination at 12 months, which was not related with any adverse clinical event.
