Late stent malapposition and marked positive vessel remodeling after sirolimus-eluting coronary stent implantation

It has been reported that positive remodeling, regression of neointimal hyperplasia, and late malapposition are associated with brachytherapy, one of the approaches to prevent first-time and recurrent in-stent restenosis. Recently, some drug-eluting stents have been demonstrated to dramatically redu...

Description
Summary:It has been reported that positive remodeling, regression of neointimal hyperplasia, and late malapposition are associated with brachytherapy, one of the approaches to prevent first-time and recurrent in-stent restenosis. Recently, some drug-eluting stents have been demonstrated to dramatically reduce restenosis rates. Despite these promising results, these drug-eluting stents may have the same potential risks as brachytherapy, with some similarities between the 2 technologies in anti-proliferative effects on vascular smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells. We reported a case of late stent malapposition and marked positive vessel remodeling after sirolimus-eluting coronary stent implantation.
