May support conservative management of silent OCT edge dissections; leaves open longer-term randomized confirmation.
Are OCT-detected non-flow-limiting edge dissections following drug-eluting stent implantation associated with acute stent thrombosis or restenosis?
Angiographically silent, OCT-detected non-flow-limiting edge dissections after DES implantation appear benign up to one year, suggesting that conservative management may be safe.
