Optical coherence tomography (OCT) strut-level analysis of drug-eluting stents (DES) in human coronary bifurcations

eurointervention.org May 25 2010 Cardiology

Aims: We sought to evaluate the vascular response of stent struts deployed in bifurcation segments using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Conclusions: This study demonstrates a variable patter of strut coverage in the bifurcation among stent technologies, with a high percentage of PES floating struts remaining uncovered at 6-month follow-up.
