  • Title: Neoatherosclerosis causing occlusive in-stent restenosis: Impact of intracoronary imaging in the intensity of lipid-lowering therapy.
    Author: Martí D, López E, Álvarez S, Palazuelos J, Rada I, Alfonso F.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Revasc Med; 2016 Dec; 17(8):584-585. PubMed ID: 27743816.
    Abstract:
    The unique physical properties of optical coherence tomography (OCT) make it a useful technique in the study of restenosis mechanisms. In fact, OCT is able to differentiate between neointimal proliferation and neoatherosclerosis within the stent. We report a rare case of occlusive neoatherosclerosis presenting beyond one year after a successful drug-eluting stent implantation. The impact of OCT findings in the clinical decision making process is emphasized.
