Optical Coherence Tomography Predictors for Edge Restenosis After Everolimus-Eluting Stent Implantation

Abstract

The present OCT study demonstrated that lipidic plaque and minimum lumen area in the stent edge segments at post stenting were associated with late SER after everolimus-eluting stent implantation. OCT provides valuable information to determine an appropriate landing zone for stent implantation.
