Abluminal Neointimal Healing by Optical Coherence Tomography Assessment After Drug-Eluting Stent Implantation on Organized Recanalized Thrombus.

Abluminal Neointimal Healing by Optical Coherence Tomography Assessment After Drug-Eluting Stent Implantation on Organized Recanalized Thrombus. J Invasive Cardiol. 2017 Nov;29(11):E161-E162 Authors: Camacho Freire SJ, Limpo B, León Jiménez J, Gómez Menchero AE, Roa Garrido J, Cardenal Piris R, Díaz Fernández JF Abstract Six-month PCI follow-up results of left anterior descending (LAD) and circumflex (CX) drug-eluting stent implantation are presented. Angiography showed patent LAD and CX stents. However, OCT revealed almost all abluminal cavities were completely filled, which the authors surmise was due to a neointimal healing process.
