Abstract
Sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) are frequently implanted following cutting balloon angioplasty (CB) for in-stent restenosis (ISR) with large neointimal hyperplasia. Coronary stent deployment is often associated with tissue prolapse, and it can cause such complications as acute occlusion. However, what effect tissue prolapse can have on arterial healing has not been fully elucidated. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a high-resolution imaging modality and allows us to analyze vascular response after stenting in detail. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between tissue prolapse and arterial healing by OCT.
