Implication
May warrant intravascular imaging in late stent failure; challenges long-term drug-eluting stent preference over bare metal stents.

Otsuka et al. (2015) studied this question. Neoatherosclerosis develops earlier and more frequently in drug-eluting stents compared to bare metal stents, contributing to late thrombotic events and restenosis.
