Since optical coherence tomography (OCT) was first performed in humans two decades ago,
this imaging modality has been widely adopted in research on coronary atherosclerosis and …

The introduction and subsequent iterations of drug-eluting stent technologies have
substantially improved the efficacy and safety of percutaneous coronary interventions …

In-stent restenosis (ISR) remains the most common cause of stent failure after percutaneous
coronary intervention (PCI). Recent data suggest that ISR-PCI accounts for 5-10% of all PCI …

Modern-day stenting procedures leverage advances in pharmacotherapy and device
innovation. Patients treated with contemporary antiplatelet agents, peri-procedural …

Percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting is the most widely performed procedure for
the treatment of symptomatic coronary disease, and drug-eluting stents (DES) have …

Background—We report findings from optical coherence tomography (OCT) of in-stent
neoatherosclerosis as a cause of drug-eluting stent (DES) failure. Methods and Results …

I. Introduction The anatomic and clinical complexity of patients with coronary artery disease
(CAD) is increasing in the United States. 1–3 While the terms “complex CAD” or “high-risk …

Despite the dramatic improvements of revascularization therapies occurring in the past
decades, a relevant percentage of patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention …

Coronary stent implantation has significantly improved percutaneous coronary intervention
and enabled the management of early complications of plain balloon angioplasty. However …

Stent failure remains the major drawback to the use of coronary stents as a revascularization
strategy. Recent advances in imaging have substantially improved our understanding of the …
