Why the study?
Do OCT-derived lipidic plaque and minimum lumen area predict angiographic late stent edge restenosis in patients undergoing everolimus-eluting stent implantation?
Do OCT-derived lipidic plaque and minimum lumen area predict angiographic late stent edge restenosis in patients undergoing everolimus-eluting stent implantation?
OCT-derived lipidic plaque and smaller minimum lumen area at stent edges post-implantation are independent predictors of late stent edge restenosis, highlighting the utility of OCT in selecting appropriate landing zones.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
OCT edge features may flag late SER risk after everolimus-eluting stents; leaves open whether OCT-guided optimization improves outcomes.
