The incidence, natural history, and predictive factors for tissue protrusion after drug‐eluting stent implantation

Objectives and background Although tissue protrusion (TP) between the stent struts after stent implantation has been implicate as a potential factor of stent failure, the incidence, natural history, and predictive factor of TP after stent implantation remains unclear. This prospective study evaluated the fate of TP after drug‐eluting stent (DES) deployment using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Method and result This study analyzed TP for 42 lesions after DES in ...
