Neoatherosclerosis causing edge in-stent restenosis: optical coherence tomography findings
نویسندگان
چکیده
A patient presenting with 'edge' in-stent restenosis 12 years after the implantation of a bare-metal stent in the mid-left anterior descending coronary artery is described. Optical coherence tomography disclosed the presence of ruptured neoatherosclerosis at the stent edge. The value of this imaging technique to unravel this unique underlying anatomic substrate is discussed. The therapy of choice for patients presenting with edge in-stent restenosis (ISR) is reviewed.

A Case of In-Stent Neoatherosclerosis 10 Years after Carotid Artery Stent Implantation: Observation with Optical Coherence Tomography and Plaque Histological Findings
We report a patient's case of slow progressive in-stent restenosis 10 years after bare-metal stent implantation to his carotid artery. We treated the patient with an additional stent placement under a distal filter protection device. Optical coherence tomographic assessment and plaque histology during the carotid artery stenting (CAS) revealed atheromatous change at in-stent neointima, which co...

A 66-year-old manpresentedanon–ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction 3 years after the implantation of an everolimuseluting stent (3.5 12 mm) in the proximal segment of a saphenous vein graft to a marginal branch. Coronary angiography showed focal in-stent restenosis (ISR) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) confirmed severe ISR (minimal lumen area 3.1 mm). Notably, the tissue causing I...
متن کاملNeoatherosclerosis in Very Late Stenosis of Bare Metal Stent by Optical Coherence Tomography
Bare metal stents (BMS) continue to be widely used in patients with coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous revascularization. Progressive luminal renarrowing has been reported late after BMS implantation resulting in a significant rate of stent failure events. We present a case of very late BMS failure due to in-stent restenosis where optical coherence tomography (OCT) was used to demo...
متن کاملNeoatherosclerosis Within the Implanted Stent
Although it is generally recognized that the long-term clinical outcome of bare-metal stents (BMS) is favorable, a late luminal narrowing with restenosis of BMS can occur during the extended follow-up (beyond 5 years), resulting in clinical events such as stent thrombosis and myocardial infarction. Regarding the mechanisms of progressive late luminal renarrowing, a persistent and remarkable for...
متن کاملQuantitative optical coherence tomography analysis for late in-stent restenotic lesions.
Coronary optical coherence tomography (OCT) has the potential to identify in-stent neoatherosclerosis, which is a possible risk factor for late acute coronary events after drug-eluting stent implantation. The purpose of this study was to investigate differences between mid-term and late in-stent restenosis after stent implantation by quantitative and semiautomated tissue property analysis using...
