Longitudinal Neointimal Distribution Pattern After Everolimus-Eluting Stent Implantation: Insights From Optical Coherence Tomography Study
Abstract
Background/purpose
Everolimus-eluting stents (EES) are established as latest generation drug eluting stents. However, optical coherence tomography (OCT) assessment of neointimal distribution after EES implantation is lacking. We aimed to assess the longitudinal neointimal distribution pattern after EES implantation using OCT.
