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.
OCT-detected edge dissections which are angiographically silent in the majority of cases are not associated with acute stent thrombosis or restenosis up to one-year follow-up.
