Key result
Coronary angioscopy and optical frequency domain imaging identified the rupture of a calcified nodule 105 months after sirolimus-eluting stent implantation in a 70-year-old man.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report demonstrates the in vivo observation of a ruptured calcified nodule very late (105 months) after sirolimus-eluting stent implantation using multimodality imaging.
Hypothesis-generating for very late calcified nodule rupture after DES; leaves open incidence, mechanisms, and surveillance needs.

Ishihara et al. (2015) conducted a case report in In-stent restenosis and calcified nodule rupture (n=1). Sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) was evaluated. Coronary angioscopy and optical frequency domain imaging identified the rupture of a calcified nodule 105 months after sirolimus-eluting stent implantation in a 70-year-old man.
