Implication

Single case of late neo-intimal rupture in BMS; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice.

Structured PICO

Population

Patients with bare metal stents presenting with unstable angina (n=2 mentioned, Case 1 detailed as a 58-year-old man with troponin negative unstable angina, ex-smoker, hypertension, dyslipidaemia, and a bare metal stent implanted 9 years previously).

Intervention

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) with virtual histology

Outcome

Ultrasonic and pathological evidence of neo-intimal plaque rupturesurrogate

This case report demonstrates that neo-intimal plaque rupture can occur within bare metal stents years after implantation and can be visualized using IVUS and virtual histology.
