Characteristics of Late-Acquired Incomplete Stent Apposition: A Comparison With First-Generation and Second-Generation Drug-Eluting Stents

Masao Yamasaki , MD, PhD;

Abstract: Background. There has been no detailed intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) analysis to evaluate the degree to which stent underexpansion or reference vessel/stent size mismatch contributes to the occurrence of post-procedural incomplete...

Abstract: Background. There has...

Comparison of Nonuniform Strut Distribution between Two Drug-Eluting Stent Platforms

Yoshihisa Shimada , MD, PhD;

Recent studies have shown that late incomplete stent apposition (LISA) develops following implantation of conventional bare-metal stents (BMS), drug-eluting stents (DES) or adjunctive intracoronary radiation (IR).1–6 While the clinical...

Comparison of Vessel Response following Sirolimus-Eluting Stent Implantation as Assessed by Serial 3-D Intravascular Ultrasound

Drug-eluting stents have substantially reduced the restenosis rate.1–4 However, restenosis after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation is resistant to repeat percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and remains an important clinical...

Drug-eluting stents have...
