Late incomplete stent apposition and focal vessel expansion after bare metal stenting
摘要
Late incomplete stent apposition was observed in 2.4%of the 412 stented segments studied by serial intravascular ultrasound analyses. Most of these phenomena and all late vessel expansions with incomplete stent apposition developed in vessels in which lesions were treated by atherectomy before stenting, suggesting a potential association between mechanical injury from debulking and these phenomena.
