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

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...
